# Log hours and track earnings

Record your hours in the contract so your employer can review completed work. Each period shows your saved entries, earnings, and submission deadline.

## Log and correct hours

From **Home → Contracts**, select **Log hours** beside the contract. In **Tasks → Current**, choose **Log hours**, enter the **Work date**, **Description**, and **Hours**, then select **Save Task**.

Use a clear description so the employer can understand the work recorded. Decimal hours are supported.

After saving, the entry appears in the table and the period's hours and earnings update. To correct an editable entry, select its pencil icon, change the description or hours, and select **Save**. The work date cannot be changed after saving, so check it before submitting.

Your employer can also record work on your behalf. Those entries appear in your work table. If the employer pauses the contract, existing entries remain visible, but you cannot add or edit work until the contract resumes.

## Timesheet deadlines and payment timing

Your employer chooses a biweekly or monthly schedule. Your contract shows the deadline in your local time as **Submit by**. Log work regularly and make corrections while entries are editable; invoiced entries are locked.

See [Time Tracking & Pay](/policies/time-tracking-and-pay.md) for the work periods, submission deadlines, and scheduled collection dates. A scheduled payment date is not a guaranteed bank-arrival date. Complete [payment setup](/getting-started/payments.md) before receiving transfers.

## Common questions

<details>

<summary>Are current-period earnings already paid?</summary>

Current earnings appear separately from **Awaiting payment**. Open **Payments** to review transfer history and any payout-setup requirements.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Where is older work?</summary>

Paid work appears under **Past**. Unpaid work from earlier periods appears under **Awaiting payment** when there are entries to show. A new contract may show **No past work logged**.
