FAQ

What is a billable hours tracker and how does it work?

A billable hours tracker is a tool that records the time spent on tasks that can be charged to a client. It works by logging work activities in real time, allowing professionals to assign time entries to specific projects or clients. Many billable hour trackers, like WebWork, offer automated tracking, reporting, and invoice generation to streamline the billing process and ensure no time is lost.

How can I track billable hours accurately without manual timesheets?

Automated time tracking software like WebWork eliminates the need for manual entries by recording activity in the background as you work. Users can assign time to projects, tag billable tasks, and generate timesheets or invoices instantly—reducing human error and saving hours each week on administrative tasks.

Can I generate client invoices directly from tracked billable hours?

Yes. Most billable hours trackers, including WebWork, let you convert tracked hours into professional invoices with just a few clicks. You can set hourly rates per project or client, review logged time, and send detailed invoices directly, making billing fast, accurate, and client-friendly. Moreover, on WebWork you can connect your Stripe and PayPal accounts and add a Pay button to the invoice so clients can pay directly.

Is a billable hours tracker suitable for legal, consulting, and creative professionals?

Absolutely. Professionals in law firms, consultancies, design studios, marketing agencies, and IT services benefit significantly from billable hour tracking. These industries rely heavily on time-based billing, and a dedicated tracker ensures transparency, accurate reporting, and smooth client relationships.

How does automated billable hours tracking improve project profitability?

By capturing every billable minute, automated tracking helps teams charge accurately for their time, reducing revenue leakage. It also reveals how much time is being spent on each project or task, enabling better project scoping, resource allocation, and forecasting—ultimately improving profitability and decision-making.

Is billable hour tracking compliant with labor and overtime laws?

Billable hour tracking tools can help ensure compliance by accurately documenting work hours, breaks, and overtime. However, companies must configure their systems to align with local labor regulations and communicate their tracking practices to employees transparently. Tools like WebWork allow for customizable settings to support this.

What features should I look for in the best billable hours tracking software?

  • Real-time automatic time tracking

  • Reporting and analytics
  • Team and permission controls
  • Cross-platform compatibility

Can I make payments on WebWork directly?
