Can be charged

Billable describes time or services that can be charged to a client.

Lawyers, consultants, and other professionals track billable hours—time spent on work that generates fees: She logged forty billable hours this week.

The term implies a transactional relationship where specific activities justify payment, as opposed to administrative tasks or overhead.
