How to Select Project, Cost Code, Equipment, or Write a Description before Clocking-In
Most employers will kindly ask (i.e. beg, threaten, or require) employees to select projects, sub-projects, cost codes, and/or equipment before clocking in. This information is a key part of helping companies build accurate bids in the future and grow a successful business. We work hard to make recording hours spent on projects, cost codes, and equipment as painless as possible.
