Adding Manual Time to Work Diary in Upwork

Overview:

You might encounter instances where the Upwork desktop app is not available or you can’t record your work properly. In these cases, you can manually add the time you worked on a certain project. Please bear in mind, manual time isn’t protected by Upwork’s Payment Protection. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how you can add manual time in Upwork:

Step 1: Navigate to your Work Diary

Begin by navigating to your Work Diary. This can be found on your Upwork dashboard, under the “Reports” section.

Step 2: Select the necessary details

Select the appropriate week and day to which you want to add time. Also choose the correct contract. If you have multiple contracts, make sure to select the correct one to add the manual time to.

Step 3: Click ‘Add Manual Time’

After selecting the contract and the date, click on the “+ Add Manual Time” button at the top right corner of your screen.

Step 4: Enter time details

After clicking the ‘Add Manual Time’ button, a popup will appear where you need to input the manual time. In the “From – TO” field, you should input the time range of your work.

Step 5: Describe your work

You have to describe the work you did in the “What did you work on?” field. Be as detailed as possible to make it clear what tasks you completed during the logged hours.

Step 6: Save Your Entries

Once you’ve entered all the necessary details, click the “Save” button. The manual time you added will then appear in your Work Diary.

Important Points To Remember:

• Manual time is not protected by Upwork Payment Protection.
• You should always notify your client before adding manual time.
• Accurate description of the task you worked on is important.
