The user now adds the time details.  There are two time records, viz. ‘WORKED’ and ‘CHARGED.’

• WORKED shows the overall time committed to the task, and may, or may not, include the amount to be charged to a customer.  
• CHARGED is the number of hours (or part) that are to be charged to the customer invoice.  These number may be more or less than the hours worked.
