What are you looking for, how to write a billing entry so a client doesn't refuse to pay?

That sounds about right (the issue is not that they refuse to pay, it's that they are unclear what they are paying for).

The goal would be to help foreign associates with properly transcribing what they did into a concise format for records (what to include/not to include). This would be to promote uniformity and consistency in the writing among various foreign associates.
I don't know of any guide. Can you provide them with examples from other associates that are models?

I asked some associates in my group for their entries. They were hilariously bad ("attention to closing items"). Client doesn't seem to care.

So, I record my time accurately, but I don't bother putting in detailed descriptions.
