Program for keeping track of pay and worked hours?

[Luwigie]

I still am working at a place where I just come in at a certain time and stay on till I am no longer needed, since I'm a kid. I wanted to find a way to keep track of my hours and pay on my AXIM PPC instead of waiting till the end of the pay period to find out.

I tried to make an excel spreadsheet but I am having a bit of trouble doing that. Even the one that kinda works won't work on the PPC. Just on the PC. Is there another program that I can use, or could some one help me with my spread sheet? I think you'll see what I was trying to do if you look at the template I have supplied that I was working on. Thanks!

You might want to try PocketTime by Bivrin Solutions (you can find it at PocketGear,com). The software tracks your time by project. There is a daily/weekly view and information can be summarized by project or date range. The best part is the application is FREE.

I used something similar on a Palm for years and really missed this functionality until I found PocketTime.

This may not be exactly what you are looking for, but it is much better than using a spreadsheet.

I have been using TimeBiller & TimeTTracker for a few weeks for an upcoming review and both products are very good at tracking time & billing per project and client. TimeTTracker also comes with a desktop version that is easy to use & is full featured. It syncs both versions automatically.

TimeBiller is a PPC only program that is easy to use.

I would recommend either program with no qualms. TimeTTracker also tracks expenses which is very handy.

I've also been using TimeBiller by Fann Software (fannsoftware.com). I use it constantly, and it does exactly what I need. It also exports as an HTML report, or XML, CSV, etc. There's even a Today plug-in available, which makes it easy to get an overview of hours/pay for the period, and to access the application.

My one caveat is back up often! A number of times I've forgotten that because it's a PPC-only program its databases aren't backed up anywhere on sync, and have hard-reset then had to reconstruct my week from memory. Not fun.

Yes , in the end the sync feature of TimeTTracker is what gave it the nod for me. That and expense tracking.

If you can keep using that spreadsheet for a while, Two Peaks (www.twopeaks.com) is supposed to be working on a application to do just this. Judging by their past performance, I'd say it'll be a well written program and very reasonably priced.

You could also try BOnTime - trial can be found on handango.com - it is half the price of TimeBiller. :D
