Time rounding

Clean timesheets – rounded automatically

Round start and end times in reports and exports to 15, 30 or 60 minutes. Your tracked times stay accurate to the minute – only what you analyze and bill gets rounded.

Start & end separately

Decide for start and end time individually whether to round down, round up or keep the exact value.

Your choice of grid

Round to 15 minutes, 30 minutes or full hours – matching your billing model.

Original times preserved

Every entry stays stored to the minute. Rounding is only applied in reports and exports – and can be changed at any time.

Adjustable per project

Individual projects can get their own grid – all others inherit the global setting.

Minimum time per day

The first entry per day and project is extended to a minimum duration – ideal for call-out or minimum charges.

Transparent for clients

Rounded entries are marked in the PDF, and for every export you decide whether rounding is applied.

How it works

Odd minutes become billable blocks

You track time as usual – Jomawo applies your rounding rules automatically as soon as you open a report or export a timesheet. The start time is rounded to the grid first, then the duration from that start.
  • Set it once in the settings
  • Applied automatically in reports and exports
  • Consistent rules for the whole team

Global rules, project-specific exceptions

Admins define rounding centrally for the company. For projects with different agreements – such as billing in half hours – you set a separate grid directly on the project.
  • Rounding rules controlled centrally by admins
  • Different grid per project
  • Minimum duration for the first entry per day

Round tracked time to 15, 30 or 60 minutes – without distorting your data

Many agencies, consultancies and service providers bill in quarter or half hours. If you track to the minute, you have to recalculate everything before invoicing – or round by gut feeling. With Jomawo's time rounding you define the rules once: round the start time down, up or keep it exact, do the same for the end time – on a 15, 30 or 60 minute grid.

Rounding is applied where it matters: in reports and timesheet exports. Your original tracked times stay stored unchanged, so you can adjust or disable the rules at any time. Individual projects can use a different grid if needed, and the first-entry-per-day rule automatically covers minimum charges – such as half an hour per assignment.

Transparency builds trust: on request Jomawo marks rounded entries in the PDF timesheet, and the export dialog lets you decide for every export whether rounding is applied. Because the rules are set centrally by an admin, the whole team bills consistently.

Frequently asked questions

Time rounding – explained briefly

No. Jomawo stores every entry to the minute. Rounding is only applied in reports and exports – you can change or disable the rules at any time without losing data.
First, the start time is rounded down or up to the selected grid (or kept exact). Then the duration from the rounded start is rounded – which results in the end time. Example with a 15-minute grid, start rounded down and end rounded up: 08:07–10:52 becomes 08:00–11:00.
Yes. On the project you can override the grid and the minimum duration for the first entry per day. Without its own value, the project inherits the global setting.
The first entry per team member, project and day is extended to at least the selected duration (15, 30 or 60 minutes) – handy for minimum charges, for example on short support calls.
If you enable “Show rounding transparently”, rounded entries are marked “Rounded” in the PDF; the CSV export contains a dedicated column. You can also switch rounding on or off for each individual export.
No. Rounding applies to project time in reports and exports. Work time tracking stays accurate to the minute – important for correct working time records.
Time rounding is included in all plans – including the free Freelancer plan. Admins enable it in the advanced settings under project time.
