Invoice Labour Hours Each Week
For admins · Updated 23 Sep 2026
Labour Billing invoices the hours worked, labour only, one week at a time. Each customer's approved hours become one draft invoice, with a line for each technician and rate on each job, plus billable allowances, at the rates on their timesheets.
- On Invoices, choose Labour Billing. It opens on last week, Monday to Sunday. Use the arrows to move a week at a time.
- Each customer with billable time that week is listed with their approved hours and the labour value ex GST. Hours not approved yet, and entries with no charge rate, are noted under the customer's name.
- Tick the customers to bill. Tick Include Earlier Unbilled Hours to pick up approved hours from earlier weeks as well.
- Choose Create Invoice. With more than one customer ticked, the button counts the invoices. Each customer gets their own draft, waiting at Draft on the Money Line.
Which Hours Are Billed
- Only approved, billable time that has stopped. Time still waiting for approval is shown so you can chase it first.
- Time is billed to the customer it is logged against, or else to its job's customer. Time with neither can't be billed: put it on a job from Timesheets.
- Once hours are on an invoice, they aren't offered again, and their date, hours and rates can't be changed unless that invoice is voided.
- Voiding a labour invoice puts its hours back on this list.
- Materials and expenses aren't included. They go on the job's own invoice.
Close Jobs as You Bill Them
When you tick a customer, the open jobs their invoice bills are listed under Close With This Invoice. Tick a job to close it in the same step. Deployr warns you when a job still has materials, expenses or subcontract work no invoice has billed, or other unbilled time. A job closed this way stays closed if the invoice is later voided.
A job you also bill weekly can still have its own invoice, from Create Invoice on the job's page, New Invoice (Completed Job) or the To Invoice list. Each leaves out hours already billed here, and the hours it bills drop off this list.
