HR Timesheet Timer: log work fast, resolve mistakes safely
One-click Start/Stop timesheet logging on tasks - with a smart resolution wizard that prevents unrealistic timesheets when users forget to stop the timer.
Built for real life: people remember different things. Some remember the stop time, others only remember the hours. This module supports both - while keeping managers’ reporting, costing, and payroll data consistent.
Key Features
A simple daily tool for employees, and reliable data for managers - without training people to be perfect at remembering timers.
One-click Start / Stop
Start logging when you begin a task and stop when you pause or finish - directly on the task form.
Always-visible running timer
Users can see the timer while working, reducing forgotten stops and improving accuracy.
Safe forgotten-timer handling
If a timer crosses local days, the system opens a resolution wizard instead of recording unrealistic hours.
Two memory modes
Either set the actual stop time or just enter the number of hours you remember - both are supported.
Advanced counting rules
Record by actual elapsed time or by scheduled working hours based on the employee calendar.
WIP Timesheet filters
Quickly find tasks currently being timed with built-in filters: My WIP Timesheet and All WIP Timesheet.
Benefits for Everyone
For employees
Log timesheets while you work, without switching screens or filling long forms.
If you forget to stop, you can fix it with the resolution wizard in the way you actually remember.
The system guides you to produce reasonable timesheet entries, especially across days.
For managers
Prevents extreme or accidental timesheet durations that distort KPIs and project profitability.
When desired, recorded hours can follow the employee’s planned working hours for consistent HR calculations.
Quick filters help supervisors and PMs spot currently running timers and follow up when needed.
Start/Stop on the Task You Work On
- Start a timer when you begin work.
- Stop it when you pause or finish.
- Timesheet lines are recorded directly on the task.
- Simple enough for daily use with minimal training.
I remember when I stopped
- Set the real stop time you remember.
- Optionally adjust the recorded hours.
- Choose whether to count by elapsed time or scheduled hours.
- Shows a clear summary before applying.
I only remember the hours
- Enter only the number of hours worked.
- Perfect for field work, meetings, or interrupted days.
- Uses a clean, focused UI to avoid confusion.
Find Work-in-Progress Timers in Seconds
- My WIP Timesheet: see your running timers.
- All WIP Timesheet: for team leads and PMs.
- Great for daily check-ins and preventing forgotten timers.
Watch the module demo
See how employees track time in one click and how the resolution wizard prevents accidental 10+ hour timesheets when a timer is left running.
Tip: The UI is designed for normal employees: remember the stop time, or just remember the hours - both flows are supported.

Instruction
Instruction video: HR Timesheet Timer
1. Add Time Attendance Start/Stop Timesheet button on a task to simplify the timesheet process on Viindoo Enterprise Management software.
Recording actual task performance time is a quick way to report work to help managers control details of task performance and record work progress. Besides entering the time at the Timesheets tab, you can press Log Timesheet, the system will display a timer recording the number of hours from the beginning to the end of the job, and press Stop Timesheet Log to finish.
2. Add more filters to find the WIP timesheet tasks.
To quickly search for tasks that are being logged timesheet by the system and you have not stopped the timesheet feature, this module provides you with additional task management tools with two default filters:
- All WIP Timesheet: with project manager rights or the Project app administrator rights, you will be able to filter all the work-in-progress tasks of all employees participating in the project.
- My WIP Timesheet: you will quickly find your work-in-progress task which is still having the timesheet logged automatically by the system.
