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
