WP HOURLY is the most simple yet advanced solution for managing your billable time using your WordPress website. It is ideal for Freelancers and Agencies alike, giving you the ability to create tasks and assign them to your team members (Employees). An Employee can then submit time records. These time records are grouped per customer, projects and tasks. The plugin also features extensive reports as well, which you can use for billing your customers or paying your employees.
While this plugin is best suited for Agencies and Freelancers who need to charge for their hourly work directly on their website, and not on any big freelancing platform, it works just as fine for other businesses that need to provide time reports to their Customers.
Basically, any business that needs to keep a record of their worked time can use WP Hourly!
THE CONCEPT
We are developing using WordPress ourselves and we do a lot of hourly work. We also work on freelancing platforms but we never liked the restrictiveness they come with or how uneasy it was to merge them into our country-specific bookkeeping and accounting. So we went ahead to create our own solution. We developed WP HUORLY and we have since tracked over 27.000 billable hours with it in 3+ years!!!
