Your Challenges
- Shift schedules via WhatsApp or paper – Changes arrive too late, nobody knows who’s working when
- Missed night and Sunday surcharges – Miscalculated wages, back payments, disputes over the GAV
- No overview of target vs. actual hours – Who’s worked too much, who still owes hours?
- Time clocks on paper or nothing at all – Hours get filled in from memory at the end of the week
What Zeitweise Does Differently
Shift Planning
Weekly grid for all teams at a glance. Assign shifts, copy the week, publish the plan – employees see their schedule instantly on their smartphone. No more WhatsApp chains.
Kiosk Terminal
Set up a tablet at the front desk or in the kitchen and you’re done. Employees clock in and out by PIN or QR code. Breaks are recorded automatically. Tamper-proof, no personal device needed.
Night and Sunday Surcharges
Surcharges under the ArG and L-GAV are calculated automatically: night work from 23:00, Sunday work, public holidays. Everything is transparent in the payroll report – no manual recalculation.
GAV/L-GAV Compliance
The compliance dashboard shows at a glance whether minimum wages, rest periods and working time limits are being observed. Deviations are flagged early before they become a problem.
Mobile Clock-In (PWA)
Employees without kiosk access clock in via smartphone browser – no app download required. Location can optionally be recorded. Works offline too.
Flexible Reports
Reports by team, location or cost centre. Overtime, absences, surcharges – as PDF or Excel export. Ready for your accountant or payroll department.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I set up the kiosk?
