I am looking for the opposite of billable, the context would be "billable hours". A complete example sentence could be
Sorry boss, the work I did from 9 to 10 is "not billable".
While writing a program, I encountered the technical correct, but somewhat ugly billable_true/billable_false-pair.
I want to rename the first to "billable", since its truthiness is reflected in the code already. It just leaves me with a very unsatisfying "not_billable" as opposite. While not wrong, I am hoping to find a single word that encapsulates this concept of hours I spent working on something, but cannot or want not put on the bill for some reason.
For the record, I am not a native english speaker, but cannot even find an antonym in my native language (german). The word I am looking for should be an english word, since all words in the program are english(ish/as far as possible).
I did a quick search through the following sites:
- synonyms.com
- thefreedictionary.com / thefreethesaurus.com
- thesaurus.net
- openthesaurus.de
I did not finy any single word describing this concept. I do not mean "slack", because the the time I want to categorize was spent working. It just should not end up on the bill presented to the client. The word could have almost any connotation, but have should not be too colloquial, it should be something I could tell a coworker without getting fired or reprimanded.
So, what would be the (ideally single-word) opposite of "billable (time)"?

Unsatisfactory it may be, but I don’t think you’ll be able to do better than unbillable or non-billable. The opposite of billable hours is generally non-billable hours in normal usage, and no amount of inventive antonyms you may unearth will have the advantage of being the commonly used word.

For the purposes of most law firms, ‘billable hours’ is only significant because it is used as part of the basis for establishing the value of a legal employee and hence pay, bonuses and prospects. So a specific word for the other stuff is not needed. In practice, it has been thought a misleading distortion of lawyers’ work priorities by not rating essential things like keeping up with law, attending conferences and internal meetings etc.. But ‘unbillable’ would do, aa would the already mentioned ‘non-billable’. Or why not just ‘other?
