Wappy | Registering hours worked

On a work order in Wappy your employee registers their hours worked, among other things. You do this via the second tab 'hours'. There are three ways to register those hours, and you decide yourself which ones are available via settings > work orders > wappy:

calculating hours from the work order;
adding hours manually;
recording hours with the timer.

Registering your own hours is part of all Wappy plans. Entering hours for other employees is only possible with the Teams plan (see the Wappy plans).

Calculating hours from the work order

A work order that comes out of the dayplanning or that you created in Wappy yourself has a start and end time. If you click 'calculate', Wappy registers that employee's hours on the basis of that start and end time.

You can still adjust those hours afterwards: click the frame of the registered hours. You will find the explanation of each field below under adding hours manually.

Adding hours manually

Click '+ add'. A window opens in which you fill in the details of the hours. Which fields you see depends on your Wappy settings — below you will find all of them:

Employee: by default the employee who enters the hours. With the Teams plan you can also add hours for colleagues.
Time operation: the time operation that applies.
Hour type: the hour type that applies. Important for the time check.
Activity: the activity that applies.
Post: the post on which the hours are booked. Important if you want to split the recalculation per post.
Start and end: the start and end time of the work carried out.
Pause: the break that is deducted from the total registered hours worked.
Time & Materials: tick this if they are Time & Materials hours. Robaws creates a separate work order for everything that is registered as Time & Materials.

You can also add a remark. In Robaws that remark ends up on the line of the hours on the work order. If you use equipment, you register the material hours in the same way.

You can register several blocks of hours on one work order. That way you make a clear distinction between different kinds of work.

Do your employees not see the '+ add' button? Then switch on Show add time button via settings > work orders > wappy. You switch the fields hour type, activity, post, pause and start/end on or off there with the settings Hour Types, Activities, Post, Enter pause and Enter the start/stop time.

Recording hours with the timer

With the start-stop button you let a timer run for as long as the work is running:

Click the 'play' button at the bottom right to start the timer.
Fill in the details of the hours. This window only appears if the Accelerated entry start/stop setting is switched on.
Click the 'stop' button at the bottom right to stop the timer.

Is a timer running? Then you can see that in the overview of the work orders from a green rotating border around the work order.
