Track time and add a manual entry

Follow an edited Company example: start and stop the timer, add earlier work, then check the saved entries. The real timer wait is shortened in this edit. Recording time does not approve a Timesheet or create payment.

The page shows Timer running while the entry is open.

Stop the timer

Choose Stop timer when the work ends. Friday Falcon saves the start and end evidence as a Time Entry.

Breaks

If the break controls are available, record whether a break counts in worked time or is excluded. End the break before stopping the timer.

If the timer was left running

Friday Falcon can flag an unusually long or open timer for review. Stop the timer to save the entry. If you finished work earlier, review the saved entry and use Request a correction if it is offered. For the available recovery paths, see Fix a long or open timer in Related help below. Do not create a second overlapping entry to hide the mistake.

What the timer does not do

The timer records time. Friday Falcon does not capture screens, keystrokes, or activity through this control, and a running timer does not by itself approve a Timesheet or create payment.
