Hey all. Before you send me to Google or HotScripts, know that I've already searched 
I'm looking for some good open-source (a.k.a. free) Time and Billing packages. Something where I can create "users" and track what tasks they're working on as well as define pay rates per user and run reports to create invoices and and such.
Anyone know of a good one to use?
getharvest.com
but look for new things in the horizon
Hmm... yes, that seems to meet the needs; however, I was looking for something to put on my server and that had a smaller price-tag
designsoft.com also has a web based version of their services, I dont know how prices are however.
Yeah... but still it seems like it's a hosted item, rather than something like forum software...
I may just have to write my own ... maybe encode it and sell it
haha, yeah my job made me do the same thing.But theirs is just timesheet management.
Yeah... I basically need something that will do this:
1.) User logs in and clicks button to "clock in"
2.) User later works on tickets / assignments (tracked in database)
3.) User later clicks button to "clock out" and then logs out
4.) Admin can define who gets what pay-rate
Now, during all of these times, pay-rates are "hard-coded" so that they can't be changed later. Of course, if there's a plugin for Trac or something, that would work as well....

If I was paid by the hour while being 'clocked_in'
I would never hit 'clock out'. 
Isnt it better to have person to click to verify he is 'clocked_in'?
After a suitable time interval.
Or let the script update a timestamp, at any action.
When no action for a specific time interval, consider user as 'clocked out'.
When No action = No work = No pay.
Not necessarily. That's why there's an "admin" who can go back and review the time logged by all users, and change them if necessary.
And I understand what you're seeing as being an issue; however, it just can't work. Basically, I need it to log when I worked, not when I was active. And I can't stay logged in to that site as I work since most of my work would be done off-the web versus on-line.

I would have sent you to Codango before i sent you to HotScripts or Google :p
sorry i dont have any more useful and constructive input though...Havent had the need for something like you've described - though if we find a good solution, I'm sure it would come in handy one day some way.
Good luck!
Hmm... that has 3 relatively serious contendors
Then again... maybe not....
