Manual Time Tracking

[sheownsthesky]

Hello,

So I have finally added my time manually, my question is, whats the next step?

Thank you!

Nothing more to do.  Client will have next week to review and your payment will be available on the following Wednesday.  Note - manual time payment is not guaranteed, only tracked time is.  So, in the future, I would suggest using the automatic tracking feature, including memos as to the work you are doing, and you will be much safer.

Thank you so much, I have one additional question. So I checky the status of my pay last week is currently under "In Review", what does that mean? Thanks in advance!

Hi Carolyn,

The 'In Review' section represents hours logged last week that are now under review by your clients. Clients have 5 days to review your work diary. 

Thank you.

Thanks so much, what happens if my client forgot to review it? Will I automatically get paid?

[mwiggenhorn]

Yes.

Carolyn, in my experience, most clients never review the work diary. They do nothing, and I get paid automatically.

That happens whether the work is manually logged time or logged by the time-tracker.

This is actually really great that we get paid automatically. It is normal for freelancers coming from other systems or having worked in face-to-face freelance arrangements to think that clients must "do something" or "approve work." But that is not the case here.
