Reviewing Pending Timekeeper Rates

Required role | Only designated timekeeper rate reviewers or assigned reviewers can review and approve timekeeper rates.
note
When rates are accepted or rejected, Tracker automatically notifies the law firm.
Review Pending Timekeeper Rates

    Rates

    Pending Rates

  2. By default the list is grouped by law firm name. If you want to provide additional grouping, you can drag a column header to the top of the page to add another grouping to the page. For example, you can group timekeepers by classification, making it easier to see all rates before accepting, or for easier bulk editing. This page includes the Rate Analysis information relevant to determining whether the proposed rate should be accepted, including: current rate, proposed rate, hours last year, Tracker Index, and fees estimates by timekeeper.
