Hours are only excluded in cases of fraud, spam, or non-project activities. All removals and related disputes are subject to review by a human reviewer.

​
Process for removing hours

1

Detection

Suspicious logs (e.g., idle activity or unrelated work) may be flagged for review.
2

Review

A human examines screenshots, activity, and context to confirm what should be removed.
3

Notification

You receive an email before payout with the number of hours removed and the reason.
4

Payout

Legitimate hours are paid as scheduled for that period.

​
Example

  • On Thursday, you are scheduled to dedicate two hours to the project.
  • The timer stays active for four hours during which no project work is done. On Friday, six hours are logged in total.
  • On Monday, a review of time integrity indicates that four hours are classified as non-project activity.
  • On Tuesday, you are notified via email that four hours have been deducted.
  • On Wednesday, you will receive payment for the two legitimate hours.
If it becomes necessary to manually subtract hours within a specified week, you should not anticipate ongoing participation in that project anymore.
