How Maria Bayley gets work done with Clockify
Since discovering Clockify through a simple Google search, Maria says she uses Clockify exclusively for client purposes.
She adds that, if she were a full-time freelancer, she would also track her administrative time.
So, let’s explore the most valuable perks Maria gained from using Clockify.
Benefit #1: Better work organization
Maria Bayley says that she enjoys using Clockify’s project page to separate time entries by:
- Clients,
- Projects, and
- Tasks.
Since Clockify offers easy time categorization, you can generate insightful reports, such as:
- Summary report — quick analysis of where your time goes, grouped by user, project, and date,
- Detailed report — in-depth overview of work hours with extensive filtering options, and
- Weekly report — weekly breakdown of your time entries for the work.
Benefit #2: Easier billing
Next, Maria says that she enjoys setting the billability status for her tasks. After all, tracking billable rates helps you create spot-on invoices, as she explains:
“I was often undercharging clients for my time because I wasn’t counting the odd 5 or 10 minutes here and there, which add up. I’ve also learned to break down my processes and budget time.”
In Clockify, keeping tabs on billable time is easy. Simply define your hourly rates, which include 3 types:
- Standard rate that applies to every employee and project,
- Different rates for each team member, and
- Specific rates for each project.
