The time recording system is very simple to use. It is fully integrated with the PMS and accounts systems and can handle multiple charge- out rates. It can be used by fee earners or by a centralised time input function. The time recording system records time posted either through the matter screen or through the time recording module. The system allows for multiple on-screen timers to run consecutively with a “hide” option. Both chargeable and non-chargeable time may be recorded with the latter being posted to a designated firm matter. Recording non-chargeable time in this way makes for easier monitoring and viewing of individual entries.

Time limits set on matters will activate as time is posted (including disbursements if required). The system generates warning messages on screen as time is posted and before a time limit is reached, allowing the system administrator to halt work on a matter.

Users are able to view and modify entered time lines before posting to accounts and may also view un-posted time recorded by user for each fee earner. A clone entry facility allows the user the option to post the same time as previously entered automatically and a Time Uplift function allows a fee earner to record a percentage uplift for time spent on a panel or public funded case etc. Unlimited notes may be added to each time entry.

A full suite of reporting tools allow firms to analyse any aspect of performance for example what percentage of time is chargeable, WIP or where inefficiencies may be occurring. They can also easily identify fee earners with outstanding time sheets.
