Using e-TIM.

Webdesigner as a freelancer cooperates with an advertising agency. Salary is paid on a hourly rate. Webdesigner is making website layout. He works on it few hours daily. He is also making leaflets and a calendar design in the same time. e-TIM enables him to organize three projects’ tasks. When starting work, he clicks „Start” and the application is tracking the time of work. While having a break, e.g. going for launch etc. he clicks „Pause”. After coming back he continues his job by clicking „Start” again. He can also easily move between projects and tasks. In the end of the day he saves the tasks’ list. The day after he continues his work from the moment when he finished it yesterday. When the project is ready, Webdesigner sends it to the Advertising Agency. After getting feedback from his client, he makes corrections. Every improvement means extra pay. Every hour means higher and fairly earned amount of money for the Webdesigner. When he settles up with the agency both sides know how much time was spent on the whole project as well as on each task.

Webmaster cut website layout to xtml/css. It was predetermined that a service charge is going to be for a project. Webmaster is aware that cutting a simple layout is not equal to cutting an advanced project. Even so he decides to be paid for a project, because he has already used e-TIM and knows how much time approx. he is going to spend on it. The application enables him to price his work precisely.

Designer works on a brochure for a client. He determines the salary for a project, estimating that it is going to take him 20 working hours. He sends the project to a client, who is totally satisfied and says it doesn’t need any corrections. When the Designer settles up with a client he sees that only 13 from 20 hours was spent on the project. He can then give a client e.g. 10% discount. He also might be sure that the client is going to return to him with next projects. What is more the client is going to probably recommend him.
