Logging Hours on Site in the Handyman App
A Number You Can't Get Back Later
At 5pm, nobody remembers whether the Johnson job took two hours or two and a half. Logged on site, the number is right.
Where It Goes
On the job's checklist, the tech enters hours on site before completing. It takes a few seconds.
How the Office Uses It
- Hourly jobs are billed from it.
- Flat-rate jobs are checked against it, to see if the price is right.
- Job history shows how long similar work took at this house.
Hours vs Clock
Hours on site are time at the job. The time clock is time on the clock for payroll. Both matter; they answer different questions.
Make It Part of Complete
The easiest rule: no Complete without hours. After a week it's automatic.
