Time (or timesheet) rounding involves rounding up recorded work hours to reflect infrequent periods, such as short breathers and refreshment breaks, that can't be easily estimated. Time rounding also helps to transform punched-in work hours into easier-to-tackle numbers for payroll accounting and calculation.
Depending on your firm's billing style, you can choose a desired time rounding type for your Lawcus account from any of:
Per-minute,
3-minute rule,
The 5-Minute rule,
6-Minute rule/One-tenth of an hour, etc.
Your rounding rule applies when you use our built-in time tracker or import a timesheet.
How it works?
Let's say you turned the time tracker on for a case at 8:45 a.m. and punched out at 10:47 a.m. This leaves you with 2 hours and 2 minutes of work for that case. But if you were to bill time in, say, a quarter of an hour, i.e., in 15-minute intervals, the time recorded would be rounded up to 2 hours and 15 minutes.

FAQ Section
FAQ1: Why is the Rounding Time Preset Not Executing on Matters?
Answer: If the rounding time preset is not working on matters in Lawcus, the problem might be related to the format of your time entries. To ensure proper functionality of the rounding feature, enter time in minutes instead of hours. When time is entered in minutes, the entries will round up correctly after saving.
