WIP Fees: Fee Earner Dashboard

The WIP Fees card shows the value of unbilled work (including any time that has been added to your draft invoices) as at the selected point in time.

The amount listed in this card combines Fees Unbilled + Fees Unbilled (Draft Invoices) and reflects the balance on the last date of the selected filter. For example, if your date range is set to Month to Date and the current date is 31 July 2026, the value reflects July 31, 2026. If you select Last Month, the value reflects June 28, 2026.

Clicking this card displays the WIP Fees Report, which shows each matter on its own row in the table. You can filter the information in the report based on the "As at" date (which applies to amounts and totals).
