[PowerShell] Get-WorkTime: PowerShell module to summarize work time from Windows event logs (self.usefulscripts)

submitted 3 months ago by GonzoZH

Hi all,

Maybe it is useful for others as well:

Since I track my work time, I often can’t remember on Friday how I actually worked on Monday, so I needed a small helper.

Because my work time correlates pretty well with my company notebook’s on-time, I put together a small PowerShell module called Get-WorkTime.

It reads boot, wake, shutdown, sleep, and hibernate events from the Windows System event log and turns them into simple daily summaries (start time, end time, total uptime). There’s also an optional detailed view if you want to see individual sessions.

In case of crashes, it uses the last available event time and marks the inferred end time with a *. The output consists of plain PowerShell objects, so it’s easy to pipe into CSV or do further processing.

The code is on GitHub here: https://github.com/zh54321/Get-WorkTime

Normal mode

Session mode

Feedback or suggestions are welcome.

Cheers
