# How do I check the work my independent contractor has been doing?
On a per-hour job, you can view your independent contractor's work in progress through the Worklog. Independent contractors with per-hour jobs are advised to use the [Time Tracking App](https://we.workforimpact.com/help/what-is-the-work-for-impact-time-tracking-app?hsLang=en). The App periodically takes screenshots and saves them in the Worklog of the contract you have with them.
To review your independent contractor's work, log in to your account and follow these steps:
- Go to [My Jobs -](https://app.workforimpact.com/client/my-jobs/active-jobs)[Active](https://app.workforimpact.com/client/my-jobs/active-jobs)Contracts
- Search for the contract of the independent contractor you wish to review on the **Active Contracts** page
- Click on the contract to view the Contract page
- Go to the **Week Summary** tab
#### Reviewing the Worklog
When you access the contract, the Week Summary for the current week opens by default. If you need to review a previous week, you can click on the left arrow to navigate to that week. Use the left or right arrow to toggle between weeks.
The total worked hours, weekly spent amount, and total amount spent on the project from the start will be visible on this page, along with any manually logged time and overtime. You can view the time entries by clicking on the "Worklog" tab. Time entries are the summary of checkpoints, which are individual screenshots randomly taken by the Time Tracking App. On average, checkpoints occur at random times every 5 minutes and are saved in the Worklog.
[Check this article](https://we.workforimpact.com/help/how-do-i-review-the-screenshots-of-my-independent-contractors-work?hsLang=en) to learn how you can review the screenshots in detail.
Should you identify an issue with the time entry or checkpoint, you may dispute the said entries. To file a dispute, please reach out to us at success@workforimpact.com
The Time Tracking App is not needed on fixed-price jobs. For this type of contract, you divide the Independent Contractor's tasks into smaller Milestones and advise them to submit them regularly so you can track their progress. However, it is essential to keep communications open with your independent contractor, especially for fixed-price jobs.
