Timing individual operations with GNU parallel

I would like to keep track of the (1) time for each individual job, and (2) the total time for a complete script. I realize that I could do this in the bash script and just write the indidividual times to a file to look at after the fact, but gnu parallel reports the average time to complete a process so it must keep track already, right?

Is there a straightforward way to maintain that information in a usable format?

Thanks for any tips. I am new to gnu parallel and am just starting to really appreciate its power!
