Clocking working hours with multiple breaks

Clocking working hours with multiple breaks

[Loris Bennett]

Hi,

I have been using Orgmode for several years to record my working hours
and calculate how much overtime I have accrued.  The mechanism is rather
rudimentary, in that I clock in and out of 'work' to record start and
end times each day and then copy these times into a separate table, in
which the time worked is calculated and the difference to the nominal
number of hours I have to work each day.  The differences are then
summed over each month

I would like to improve this, in particular because we now a more
flexible working time model, whereby work can be spread out over a
longer period of the day and can be interrupted by multiple breaks.

Does any one have any suggestions for this?  I was wondering to what
degree a clocktable could used for this, because it is unclear to me how
I would integrate the calculation of the overtime.

Regards

Loris

You could try "timeclock", which is a part of calendar - not org-mode.

I believe that you can try using clocktable + :formula parameter to
inject custom spreadsheet calculation into the resulting table.
See 8.4.2 The clock table section of the manual and sections on
spreadsheet functionality.
