How to review billable vs non-billable time

This guide explains how to review billable vs non-billable time in Worklog360, so you can understand how much work is generating revenue and where non-billable effort is happening.


Why this matters

Tracking billable vs non-billable time helps you:

  • Monitor revenue-generating work

  • Identify excessive non-billable effort

  • Validate billing before invoicing

  • Make better resourcing and pricing decisions

Worklog360 shows billable data consistently across all report views.


Where billable data is visible

Billable vs non-billable information is available in:

  • Time (Summary)

  • Worklogs (Details)

  • Timesheets

Each view answers a different question.


Method 1: Review billable ratio in Time (Summary)

Use Time (Summary) for a high-level overview.

Where to click

  1. Go to Worklog360 → Reports → Time (Summary)

  2. Select the time range and scope

  3. Select a tab – Project, User, Issues or Account

What you will see

  • Billable vs non-billable ratio (column) for the selected grouping

“How much of our time is actually billable?”

Method 2: Identify where non-billable work happens

In Time (Summary), change the grouping to:

  • Project → to see which projects generate non-billable work

  • User → to see differences across team members

  • Issues → to see differences across Issues

  • Account → to see account-level impact

  • Clients → (Tobe added), for now visible in Worklog Details (grouped worklogs by Client)

  • Teams → (Tobe added), for now visible in Worklog Details (grouped worklogs by Teams)

📌 Look for:

  • Low billable ratios

  • Projects or users with unusually high non-billable time


Method 3: Review individual worklogs in Worklogs (Details)

Use Worklogs (Details) when you need full transparency.

Where to click

  1. Go to Reports → Worklogs (Details)

  2. Set the time range and scope

  3. Add the Billable column

What you will see

  • Each worklog clearly marked as:

    • Billable

    • Non-billable

  • Billable hours, rate, and amount (if configured)

You can also:

  • Filter by Billable = Yes / No

  • Combine with other filters (Project, User, Issue, Account)


Method 4: Review billable time in Timesheets

Use Timesheets for per-user comparison.

Where to click

  1. Go to Reports → Timesheets

  2. Group by User

  3. Select the relevant time range

What you will see

For each user:

  • Logged hours (SUM)

  • Billable hours

  • Clear comparison between the two

📌 This view helps answer:

“Is logged time actually billable?”

Common manager use cases

Before invoicing

  • Use Time (Summary) to review billable totals

  • Drill down into Worklogs (Details) if something looks off

During delivery

  • Monitor non-billable time to avoid scope creep

  • Adjust priorities or expectations early


Tips for managers

💡 Review billable ratios regularly, not just at month-end.

💡 Investigate sudden drops in billable percentage early.

💡 Use charts for trends, and tables for validation.
