Task Timer for Hourly-Tracked Work

Problem Statement:

• Teammates working on hourly-paid tasks (like cleaning) have no way to track their actual working time within Hospitable
• The system only tracks task start/end times, but doesn't allow teammates to start, pause, and resume a timer during a task
• This makes it difficult to accurately log hours worked, especially when breaks or interruptions occur

Current Workaround:

• Teammates are likely using external timers or apps to track their time, then manually logging hours elsewhere

Impact:

• Inaccurate time tracking for hourly-paid tasks
• Additional administrative overhead to reconcile external time logs
• Potential disputes or confusion around hours worked

Proposed Solution:

• Add a start/pause/end timer feature to tasks that teammates can control
• Allow admins to enable or disable this timer on a per-task-template basis

Unlock:

• Teammates can accurately track their working time with the ability to pause for breaks
• Admins have control over which task templates include the timer feature
• Streamlined time tracking eliminates the need for external tools
