FAQ

Q: How does rounding for billing increments work?

A: Time entries will round up regardless of how many minutes you spend on the activity. For example, if you choose to round time entries to 15 minute increments, an activity you 1 minute on will still be processed as .25 hours (15 minutes) by AutoTime.
