⚠️ Hours Trap Warning
If you work your full weekly maximum for the first 4 weeks, you will have 0 hours remaining for the last 3 days of the month. Submitting a timesheet for those days would trigger a violation.
Safe approach: Use the Average Daily Target of 7:27 hrs/day to pace your hours evenly across all 31 days of the month.
