How Do I Remove Manual Time in UpWork?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 10:48 am

If you’re like most people, you probably don’t want to waste your time tracking every little thing you do during the day. But if you’re a freelancer, chances are good that you’re required to track your time in order to get paid for your work. Thankfully, there’s a way to remove manual time tracking in UpWork so that you can get back to your work without having to worry about the clock.

First, go to your settings and click on the “Work Diary” tab. Then, click on the “Preferences” tab and uncheck the box next to “Track time manually.” This will disable manual time tracking for all of your projects.

If you only want to disable manual time tracking for a specific project, go to that project’s page and click on the “Work Diary” tab.” This will disable manual time tracking for that specific project.

PRO TIP: If you are considering removing manual time in Upwork, be aware that this may impact your account negatively. Manual time is used to keep track of the time you spend working on a project, and removing it may make it difficult to accurately track your work hours. In addition, manual time may be used to calculate your billing rate, and removing it could result in a lower rate.

You can also disable manual time tracking by going to a project’s page and clicking on the “Stop Tracking Time” button. This will stop all time tracking for that project, regardless of your preferences settings.

Once you’ve disabled manual time tracking, you’ll still be able to see how much time you’ve worked on a project by looking at the “Work History” tab. However, this information is only for your reference; it won’t be used to calculate your pay.

If you need to start tracking your time again, simply go back into your settings and re-enable manual time tracking. Or, if you just want to start tracking time for a specific project, go to that project’s page and click on the “Start Tracking Time” button.

Manual time tracking can be a pain, but thankfully there’s an easy way to disable it in UpWork. By following these steps, you can get back to work without having to worry about the clock.
