In Time-Assistant, work types represent different working categories.
Assume there is an IT company having two departments -
Web Design and Software Development. So, to be able to distinguish between different areas of responsibility for, say, programmers,
you might want to use the following work types: database design, system design, coding and testing, while designers may
be involved in: concept and style creation, banner design, web design and animation.
And, there is always a difference in the way people get paid depending on a particular work
they do and time they spent on a task (usually, on an hourly basis). This difference is determined by pay rates (per hour) to be set for each work type.
For more details on work types and rates, please consult the Time-Assistant User Manual.
