When using Time Limits under Parental Controls on a standalone Mac (running Mountain Lion or Mavericks), the user of the managed account can click on the clock in the menubar to see how much of his or her limited time is remaining. For example, for a user who has a time limit of 3 hours per day and who has used 3 minutes, it will say "Time Remaining: 2:57" in the drop down menu that appears when clicking on the clock of the Mac's menu bar:

When managing a user via Workgroup Manager on a Snow Leopard Server, this "Time Remaining feature" does not seem availble. Is that because this is a feature that was added after Snow Leopard? - or is it due to the fact that it's managed from the server? Is there any way a client user with time limits under Snow Leopard Server can know how much of his or her time quota he or she has used or left? The Parental Controlled Macs are running Mavericks.
