Billable and non-billable time categories

Currently, all time-tracking categories bill at the same rate (either the user's bill rate or the project-level override). We understand some users need to track non-billable time to a project without it affecting the overall project budget, as well as see the relationship between billable and non-billable time for a given project.

Now, when non-billable is selected, no bill rate is applied to that time entry, and nothing is subtracted from the budget. All additional categories apply the default or project override bill rate. This is helpful for any supervisors who need to create reports or keep track of budget and billing for each project in their workspace.

Please note: Non-billable cannot be deleted from anywhere within Hive, as recreating a category with the same name may not apply a new bill rate.

To see this in your workspace, make sure Time-tracking is enabled by going to Hive Apps -> Time-tracking and toggling it on. Navigate to the associated action card, and add time in the time-tracking app. Depending on your preferences, select either "Billable" or "Non-billable) for the Category.
