Feature Request: Hourly Line Items That Auto-Track Labor Time

Hey Jobber Team and fellow users,

I’d love to see a feature added that allows us to mark a Job or Line Item as “Hourly,” where Jobber automatically tracks labor time during a visit. (yes, labor time is already tracked, but it does not populate invoices automatically with the labor time total)

Here’s the idea:
When a team member clocks in and out for a visit, Jobber would log the total man hours and automatically populate that into the invoice line item when it’s generated.

Example:
If a visit takes 3.5 total man hours across the crew, and the rate is $60/hr, the invoice line would automatically show:

Labor (Hourly) — 3.5 hrs @ $60/hr = $210

This would be a huge time-saver and ensure invoices accurately reflect labor hours without needing to manually edit or calculate them later.

Why it matters:

Eliminates human error in time-based billing
Speeds up invoicing for hourly work
Keeps job costing more consistent and transparent

**Would also love to see labor time displayed in decimal!**

Would love to hear if others are interested in this too — and if Jobber could consider adding it as a future update!

    Hey Nick! Thank you for this feedback. I can see how it would be valuable for your business and others! 

    Due to the possibility of technicians forgetting to clock in or out, it's not a feature that we included automatically. We are always looking for ways to improve, and I can assure you that this feedback will be forwarded to our Product Development team. 

    In the meantime, I recommend creating a non-taxable service in your Product and Service list labeled "Hourly Labor" with a default unit price of $60. This way, it is easier to add the line item to the invoice before sending it to the client. 

    We appreciate you bringing this to the community!
