BJ, thank you.
Let's say I need to track the following info:
- the time the employee came to work.
- Time she left.
- Days of work, and abscence,
- show total hours worked, and calculate payroll...

A quick navigation through ofbiz, gave me the impression that this is
possible OOTB. But how ? 

Do I create a project for this, and call it "Every Day Job", then add
tasks .... etc ? 

Any hints ?
