Hi Bill,
I would think that this will average away. When clocking in,
Org only notices the full minutes. If you are clocking in at
14:22:59 and out again 1 second later at 14:23:00 you will
cheat 59 seconds into the clocking interval and bill a whole
minute. So this kind of *cheating* goes both ways and will
average out.
And yes, it really would seem strange to clock by the second :-)
