Know what work costs — and mould the tool to your team.

Log effort against tasks, compare estimate to actual, and watch a project burn against its budget with a billable split. Then bend the module to how your team actually works: labels, checklists, watchers, saved views, recurring tasks, templates and per-project statuses.

Effort

Billable or not

Estimate vs actual

Per task

Budget burn

Hours & amount

Labels → templates

Time & budgeting

Effort that feeds budgets — not a second timesheet.

Task time is effort, tracked for costing and billing — deliberately distinct from HR attendance, which is presence.

Log time

Record hours against a task, per day, with an optional note. The worker defaults to the logger’s own employee record, so logging your own effort is one field.

Estimate vs actual

Set estimated hours on a task and see “X logged of Y estimated” — over- and under-runs become obvious early.

Project budget & burn

Give a project a budget in hours and/or amount; a burn bar turns from green to red as logged effort approaches or passes it.

Billable split

Mark each entry billable or not; the analytics view shows a billable percentage and the hours behind it.

Effort per employee

A rollup shows logged hours per person across the project, for capacity and costing conversations.

Effort ≠ attendance

Task time lives in its own store with its own permission (log time), so it never collides with — or double-counts against — HR clock-in/out.

Flexibility & polish

Shape the tool around your team — safely.

Power users customize; everyone else gets a sensible default. Nothing here requires a migration or an admin ticket.

Labels & tags

A colored label catalogue for your organization; tag tasks and filter “my tasks” by label.

Checklists

Break a task into a checklist with a live progress bar — the small steps inside the big one.

Watchers

Follow any task to get notified on comments and status changes, even when you’re not the assignee.

Saved views

Save your favourite “my tasks” filter combinations as named views and switch between them in a click.

Recurring tasks

Set a task to repeat daily, weekly or monthly; completing it spawns the next occurrence with dates shifted — until an optional end date.

Project templates

Save any project as a reusable blueprint and spin up new ones with its tasks, subtasks, milestones, checklists and custom statuses already in place.

Custom statuses

Give a project its own board columns and workflow; mark which columns count as done or cancelled so progress stays honest.

Filter everywhere

Status, priority, label, project and due-bucket filters across the list and board keep large backlogs navigable.

Permission-gated

Managing labels and statuses is a project-config permission; tagging and checklists use task-edit; saved views are personal.

One source of truth

Effort and attendance are different questions.

“How long did this task take, and is it billable?” is a delivery question. “Was this person present, and for how many hours?” is an HR question. AWRA keeps them in separate systems on purpose — so your project costing and your payroll timesheets never fight over one number.

  • Task effort feeds project budgets, estimate-vs-actual and billable split.
  • HR attendance feeds rosters, overtime and payroll — a separate module.
  • Each has its own permission, its own store, and its own reports.
  • No double source of truth, no reconciling two timesheets.

Questions

The practical details.

Is task time the same as HR attendance?

No — and deliberately so. Task time is effort (how long work took, billable or not) feeding project budgets; HR attendance is presence (clock-in/out) feeding rosters and payroll. Separate stores, separate permissions.

Who does logged time belong to?

The worker defaults to the logger’s own employee record, so logging your own effort is a single field; you can attribute it to another employee when needed.

How do project budgets work?

Set a budget in hours and/or amount on the project; a burn bar shows progress and turns red as logged effort approaches or passes the hours budget.

What can I customize per project?

Board columns/statuses (including which count as done or cancelled), labels, checklists and templates — so a marketing project and a construction project can look completely different.

How do recurring tasks behave?

Choose daily, weekly or monthly with an interval and optional end date. Completing an occurrence spawns the next with dates shifted; a daily safety-net job catches any that were completed another way.
