The Freelancer Management Challenge

Can You Really Trust Freelancer Time Sheets?

Managing freelancers and contractors introduces unique challenges around accountability, billing accuracy, and work verification.

Inaccurate Time Reporting: Freelancers submit inflated or inaccurate timesheets. Without verification, you're paying for hours that may not have been worked, or work that wasn't actually completed.
No Proof of Work: You can't verify what freelancers were actually doing during reported hours. Were they working on your project or juggling multiple clients? No visibility means no accountability.
Invoice Disputes: Manual timesheets lead to billing disputes, payment delays, and strained relationships. You question hours, freelancers defend their work, and nobody wins.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will freelancers resist using time tracking software?: Most freelancers actually prefer it because it protects them too. Accurate time tracking eliminates disputes and ensures they get paid fairly for all hours worked. Set expectations upfront: transparent tracking is required for all contractors.
Can freelancers manipulate the time tracking?: WorkComposer uses intelligent activity detection (keyboard/mouse movements) to verify actual work. Screenshots provide visual proof. Idle time is automatically detected and excluded. This makes manipulation virtually impossible while maintaining fairness.
What if a freelancer works for multiple clients simultaneously?: Freelancers can switch between different client projects easily. Time is tracked to the active project only. This actually benefits everyone: you pay only for time dedicated to your work, and freelancers can accurately bill all their clients.
How do screenshots respect freelancer privacy?: You have full control: use blurred screenshots to verify activity without seeing details, disable screenshots entirely and rely on app/URL tracking, or use full screenshots with freelancer consent. Privacy settings can be customized per contractor.
Can we use this for international freelancers?: Absolutely. WorkComposer works globally and automatically handles time zones. Perfect for managing freelancers across different countries and regions. Reports show time in your timezone or theirs, as needed.
How quickly can we onboard new freelancers?: Onboarding takes under 10 minutes. Send an email invitation, freelancer downloads the app, selects your project, and starts tracking. No complicated setup or training required. Remove access instantly when projects end.
What's the cost per freelancer?: Just $2.99 per freelancer per month with annual billing (or $3.30/month billed monthly). Most companies recover the cost within the first week by eliminating overbilling and invoice disputes. ROI is typically immediate.
