Using the work tracker

1. When you start your shift, please make sure you track your time with this app - every task activity has to be tracked individually.

2. Please do not create a new project every time you start tracking an activity. Using the TopTracker app, select your Movers and Shakers project and then click "Start Tracking" button to track billable work time.

3. Kindly make it a habit to only start your shift when you've turned on the tracker. On breaks, stop the tracker.

4. Please avoid adding hours manually. If needed to input manual time entry, kindly ask the manager.

5. When you hit the end of a period (period means two weeks of work), you may use this template to compute your total hours to bill Danny. (Don’t edit the template - save a copy of it to your local computer.)

6. Send your billing invoice for the period once total hours is computed.
