About iTime
At its core, iTime is a charge code (an absence code) designed to allow you to account for the time you spend innovating AND be recognized for it. But the concept behind iTime is much bigger than a charge code. iTime is about igniting a movement inside Basic Company where each of us are compelled to act on the spark of an idea and do something to bring it forward. iTime is your time to fuel that spark of an idea that you know could become something awesome. Because ideas take time.
