Standups & time accountability

Every standup item now carries a minutes spent value. The composer’s chip strip lets you tap 0m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h, or Custom (any value 0–24h) per row. Submit stays disabled until every item has been touched — including a deliberate 0m when the answer really is “no time on this one.”

The live summary card under the items reads Claimed across items: 4h 30m / 7h expected plus a breakdown row that pulls from your attendance: Logged today (clock-in to clock-out minus breaks), Other time (logged minus claimed — the residual where meetings, breaks, and the bathroom go), and Leave or Holiday when either applies. None of those bottom-row numbers come from you typing — they’re what the attendance + leave + holiday systems already know.

What HR sees

Open HR → Reports → Time accountability for a workspace-wide monthly rollup. Each row shows the person’s claimed vs. logged minutes for the month, how many standups they filed, days they were clocked in but didn’t file a standup (“Missing”), and the delta. The table sorts by largest under-claim first so the biggest gaps are at the top.

The delta column is a conversation starter, not a discipline trigger. Positive deltas mean “you were here longer than you accounted for” — usually meetings, mentoring, or breaks that nobody bothered to log. Negative deltas mean “you claimed more than the clock-in window” — usually a typo. CSV export ships the same columns plus a formula-injection-safe escape so opening it in Excel/Sheets doesn’t fire any embedded=HYPERLINK(...) mischief.

Where the time shows up after submit

Once you submit a standup, the minutes you logged flow into three places:

• /me/standups — your personal 30-day chart compares claimed vs. logged minutes per day, and each history card shows the day’s claimed total as an emerald chip.
• Task detail — opening any task that was mentioned in a standup item now shows a Time logged via standups panel under the regular time-entries panel, with the running total + a list of who claimed what on which day. The panel hides itself entirely for tasks nobody has standup-claimed time on.
• HR roll-up — the monthly report above.

Workspace toggle

The chip strip is workspace-configurable. If your workspace values trust over surveillance, an admin can flip standupTimeTrackingEnabled off in HR policy — the chips disappear from the composer, Submit stops requiring a per-item value, and the HR Time accountability tab vanishes. Standups still work as a daily summary; just without the per-item minute accounting layer.
