Why is Tracking Billable & Non-Billable Time So Important?

Accurately separating billable and non-billable time is foundational to both financial performance and operational clarity. When tracked correctly, it delivers measurable benefits across the organization:

• Ensures accurate and defensible client billing
  Clearly distinguishing billable hours prevents underbilling or overbilling, reduces client disputes, and supports transparent, auditable invoices.

• Improves financial visibility and profitability analysis
  Understanding how much time is spent on revenue-generating versus internal activities helps leaders identify profitable projects, cost overruns, and margin erosion early.

• Optimizes resource allocation and workforce utilization
  By seeing where non-billable time accumulates, organizations can rebalance workloads, reduce inefficiencies, and allocate staff more effectively.

• Supports fair and accurate payroll and compensation
  Proper classification ensures employees are paid correctly based on the type of work performed, reducing payroll errors and compliance risks.

• Strengthens operational planning and forecasting
  Historical billable and non-billable data enable more accurate budgeting, project forecasting, and staffing decisions.

Billable vs. Non-Billable Time: How to Differentiate Them Correctly

The Solution: CloudApper AI TimeClock for Tracking Billable & Non-Billable Time

CloudApper AI TimeClock simplifies billable & non-billable time tracking in UKG Ready by removing ambiguity at the point of clock-in and automating classification behind the scenes. Instead of relying on manual corrections or after-the-fact adjustments, time is categorized accurately as it’s captured.

Built-In Billable vs. Non-Billable Classification at Clock-In

CloudApper AI TimeClock removes ambiguity at the very first step of time capture by embedding billable and non-billable classification directly into the clock-in experience. Organizations configure cost centers, job codes, or labor transfers in UKG as billable or non-billable based on internal policies and client billing rules.

When an employee clocks in—using touchless facial recognition, kiosk, or mobile device—the AI TimeClock automatically records the punch against the predefined job code or cost center for that shift. For environments where employees move between different types of work, the system can also prompt them with approved job code options at clock-in or during labor transfers.

The key advantage is simplicity for employees and consistency for the business. Employees don’t need to understand billing logic, wage calculations, or accounting rules. They simply select the correct job, project, or shift, and the system applies the correct classification automatically. This prevents misclassified hours, reduces payroll corrections, and ensures billable time is captured accurately from the start.

Project, Task, and Job-Based Time Capture

For organizations that bill clients based on projects, tasks, or specific jobs, CloudApper AI TimeClock provides granular time capture that aligns directly with UKG’s project and job structures. Each time entry can be associated with a specific project, task, or job code, creating a clear link between labor hours and the work performed.

This approach supports multiple real-world scenarios, including:

• Client-facing (billable) projects where hours must roll up into invoices and profitability reports

• Internal (non-billable) initiatives such as training, onboarding, or administrative work

• Hybrid roles where employees switch between billable and non-billable work throughout the day

Because time is captured at this level of detail, organizations gain precise visibility into where labor hours are going. Billable hours are protected and fully accounted for, while non-billable time remains transparent for cost control, productivity analysis, and resource planning. This level of granularity also supports accurate forecasting and helps leaders understand true project margins.

Real-Time Visibility and Reporting in UKG

All time data captured through CloudApper AI TimeClock syncs directly and continuously into UKG, giving managers real-time access to accurate labor information without manual reconciliation. Instead of waiting for payroll cycles or exporting data from multiple tools, stakeholders can see up-to-date insights as work happens.

With this real-time visibility, teams can monitor:

• Billable vs. non-billable labor distribution to understand how time is allocated

• Project profitability trends based on actual labor costs

• Overtime driven by non-billable activities, helping identify inefficiencies

• Workforce utilization across departments, roles, and locations

This immediate access to clean, categorized data allows finance, HR, and operations leaders to make faster, more confident decisions. Whether adjusting staffing, reallocating resources, or correcting issues before payroll closes, teams can act proactively—without pulling reports from multiple systems or questioning data accuracy.
