SELECT 
    DATEDIFF(year, @start_dt, @end_dt) diff_in_year, 
    DATEDIFF(quarter, @start_dt, @end_dt) diff_in_quarter, 
    DATEDIFF(month, @start_dt, @end_dt) diff_in_month, 
    DATEDIFF(dayofyear, @start_dt, @end_dt) diff_in_dayofyear, 
    DATEDIFF(day, @start_dt, @end_dt) diff_in_day,

Small change like this can be done

  SELECT  EmplID
        , EmplName
        , InTime
        , [TimeOut]
        , [DateVisited]
        , CASE WHEN minpart=0 
        THEN CAST(hourpart as nvarchar(200))+':00' 
        ELSE CAST((hourpart-1) as nvarchar(200))+':'+ CAST(minpart as nvarchar(200))END as 'total time'
        FROM 
        (
        SELECT   EmplID, EmplName, InTime, [TimeOut], [DateVisited],
        DATEDIFF(Hour,InTime, [TimeOut]) as hourpart, 
        DATEDIFF(minute,InTime, [TimeOut])%60 as minpart  
        from times) source
