It is a common situation that you charge a defined minimum amount of time or that you do not charge your work on the level of minutes, but you charge let's say minimum half an hour. For this purpose, ictime offers the possibility to define rounding rules, and for each project, you can assign one of the rounding rules configured here.

It is obvious that applying rounding rules does not make much sense (or is not fair) within e.g. a development project, because the rounding rule - of course depending on configuration - adds a time overhead to your real time spent. But this is fair for certain situations; a three-minute phone call might have a monetary value far beyond three minutes; if you get disturbed a couple of time a day for a couple of minutes, this justifies charging more than the effective time. |
