Finance reconciles them at month end, which is a day of work producing a number that is approximately right and impossible to defend line by line.
Time logs once against the task it was spent on. Approval makes it billable value in Books and cost against the project in Loop at the person's rate.

Finance and whoever you permit; project owners usually see cost, not rates.
We will run it end to end on your own numbers in half an hour, and tell you honestly which parts Treepie does not improve.
