Dokumentation der Arbeitszeit: Warum eine digitale Lösung unverzichtbar ist

Documenting working time: why a digital solution is essential

With the time recording obligation planned by the legislator (ArbZG-E), companies with fewer than 10 employees will probably be exempt from the electronic documentation obligation, but there is still a basic obligation to document start, end and duration of employees’ daily working hours. However, keeping manual working time documentation is not only time-consuming, but also cost-intensiveEmployees have to note down every single working hour manually and then the employer or the tax office has to painstakingly add them up. This time-consuming procedure can be a major burden for both employees and employers.

Nevertheless, paper-based working time recording is still widespread. In many cases, for example, in operational practice The DATEV form “Template for documenting daily working hours” is used to record working hours. This is a free template in the form of a Excel workbook, which is often provided by the tax office in the context of the minimum wage recording obligations. However, the forthcoming legislation in Germany on working time recording means that it is time to question the future viability of conventional working time documentation and switch to an innovative solution.

With digital Time & Attendance, working times can be recorded easily and efficiently without having to fill out cumbersome forms or constantly losing track of things. Employees save Time when recording their hours  kNo more fiddling with paper forms! A digital tool also minimizes the risk of errors in the records: Smudged ink lines or forgotten entries are now a thing of the past.  Incorrect entries are corrected by a Plausibility check identified. Thanks to the intuitive user interface offered by ZMI, the solution not only makes it easy to record attendance and absence times, but also offers functions such as vacation planning and overtime control. This not only makes administrative work easier, but can also save costs.

But how does it all work? It’s simple: with cloud-based Time & Attendance, you can get started straight away and no longer need to install anything on your computer or server. Working times can be conveniently entered and saved directly in the browser – without pen and paper. Optionally, a time recording terminal with RFID cards or transponders can also be easily connected. Make life easier for yourself and your employees life by using a modern tool for recording working time.
