WORK-TIME RECORDING · Workflow idea

Record a work session and breaks with a quick tap.

Use a simple phone menu to mark when work starts, when a break begins or ends, and when the work period finishes. Keep the timestamps together in a personal time record and show a confirmation after each entry so the person can spot a missed or incorrect mark.

Data

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A person’s choice to start work, record a break, or finish a work session

“Record the selected work-time action with its time, connect it to the person’s session, and make the entry easy to check before it is used for a timesheet or pay decision.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Makes it easier to record work sessions and breaks at the time they happen instead of reconstructing them later.

  1. Start a work session

    Record the worker’s start time and associate it with the correct person and work date.

  2. Record breaks as they happen

    Mark the beginning and end of a break so the session shows time away separately from working time.

  3. Finish the work session

    Capture the end time and bring the session entries together for the worker to inspect.

  4. Check missing or unusual entries

    Flag an unfinished session, repeated tap, or out-of-order timestamp for the worker to correct rather than silently guessing.

  5. Approve before timesheet or pay changes

    Have the worker and an authorized reviewer verify totals and corrections before a timesheet is finalized or information affects payroll.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A dated work session with start, break, and end entries, available for the worker and an authorized reviewer to verify.

The handoff

A dated work session with start, break, and end entries, available for the worker and an authorized reviewer to verify.

Keep in mind

A missed tap, duplicate entry, or incorrect time can affect hours and pay. Let the worker review and correct their own record, keep an audit trail for edits, and require an authorized person to approve timesheet or payroll changes before they are submitted or used for payment.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose workers and time-record fields

Select the people in scope and decide how work dates, session starts, breaks, and finishes are recorded.

Set break and correction rules

Document how breaks are handled, how missed entries are corrected, and how a worker can review their history.

Assign time and payroll reviewers

Name who checks unusual sessions and who may approve timesheet or payroll updates.

Test ordinary and incomplete sessions

Check a full session, multiple breaks, a repeated tap, and a missing end time before relying on records.

Put your next idea to work.

Start with your brief. Make the process your own.
