Keeping Track of Credits and Exchanges
The Timebank software website is the place to keep track of transactions. If you are an offline member, contact an administrator to work with you.
Reporting Hours:
The provider of the service is to log in the time given. Members need to confirm the number of hours exchanged with one another, prior to reporting. All services need to be reported within a week of the date of service. Contact Coordinator you are unable to record online. For fractions of hours, round up to the nearest quarter hour. (For example, 52 minutes of service earns 1 time credit. 1 hour and 10 minutes of service equals 1.25 time credits).
Negative balances are fine:
Members do not need to maintain a positive balance of hours.
Money and exchanges:
Only hours may be exchanged in the Timebank. Time credits are not redeemable for cash.
Donation of hours:
A member may give earned credit hours to another member or to the time bank’s general fund. The time bank’s general fund allows us to reimburse members who complete work on behalf of the time bank in time credits and allows the Advisory Committee to transfer time credits to members who are in need.
Exchange of goods:
Members may offer or request goods to be exchanged for hours. The receiver (not the giver) of the goods will determine the number of hours for the exchange.
