What if someone forgets to press Stop work?
The app closes the work day by itself after 3 hours with no keyboard or mouse, and records it as ending at the last real activity. So a forgotten Stop doesn’t turn into extra hours or overtime.
- 1Owners and admins: open Settings → Organization.
- 2Find Forgotten work day and click the pencil.
- 3Choose after how long: 1 to 6 hours, or Never. The default is 3 hours.
Example: someone works until 8:25 AM and walks away without Stop. With 3 hours, the day closes at 11:25 AM and shows as ending at 8:25 AM. The idle hours after it aren’t counted.
Breaks don’t count towards the limit: a long break never closes the day. Private time left on for more than 8 hours is treated as forgotten, and the day ends when it started.
When the person is back at the computer, the app tells them their day was closed. With Work starts by itself, the day starts again on their next keyboard or mouse use in work hours; otherwise they press Start work.
