Hours and approval
Weekly approval, the calendar, time off, holidays, and what we never track.
No monitoring, ever
No screenshots. No keystroke logging. No activity score. No camera. Not optional, not a setting, not planned.
Hours here exist because a freelancer wrote them down and you agreed the week looked right. That is the whole mechanism, and it is a commitment rather than an omission.
Approval is per week
You approve a week, not fifteen individual entries. The conversation is "does this week look right", and per-entry approval would let you approve eleven of thirteen entries, which is not a state either of you could act on.
What a client sees
Nothing until the freelancer submits. A draft week is their scratchpad, and it is invisible to you by policy rather than by the interface choosing not to show it.
Once submitted you get the week with every entry: the date, the times, the time zone the times were written in, and any reference they added. You approve it, or you request changes with a note.
You never edit an entry. Approve, or say what needs changing. Editing somebody's record of their own work is not a thing this product lets you do.
Approval is final in the current version. There is no un-approve.
Both clocks
Every entry shows the freelancer's own time and the same interval in yours. An entry stores the local time and the zone it was written in rather than an instant, so a daylight-saving change later cannot silently move hours you already agreed.
The calendar
Hours appear on a calendar with a colour per person, and the person's name beside the colour: because "whose 3:30 is this" should not need a colour memory.
Days say what kind of day they are in words: "Off · paid", "Off · unpaid", "Requested" for leave still waiting on you, and Philippine holidays by name, with one line on what the holiday means in practice.
Time off
A freelancer requests days; you approve or decline. The request records whether paid leave was asked for, and approving does not carry a paid flag of its own, so an approval can never quietly grant different terms from the ones requested.
Logging hours on an approved day off warns and never blocks. People do work on their day off sometimes, and refusing to record it would just make the record wrong.
When Premium ends
Reviewing freezes. Logging and submitting do not: hours queue up, the freelancer keeps working, and nothing has to be re-entered when you renew.
