Complying with working time rules made easy – with the new timr version 6
With the August update of timr we laid the foundation for our main focus of the last weeks, which is: Making work easier for our customers by extending the automatic checks.
With the October update (timr version 6.5) there are now even more helpful functions available.
1. Automatic review of rules regarding labor law
In timr a number of options are available to check labor law regulations. For this purpose we have extended the existing “break model” to “working time rules”.
The new working time rules will be assigned in the working time model, just like the break model so far.
1.1. NEW Define rules for legally required rest periods (holiday rest, …)
Define rules for daily and weekly rest periods as well as for holidays. timr automatically checks all work time records for compliance with the defined rules.
The new working time rules are assigned in the working time model, just like the break model before. Details on configuration can be found in this manual.
1.2. NEW Define flex time and core time frameworks
If an employee records times outside of the flextime frame or does not adhere to the core times, you will receive a corresponding message in the time account.
1.3. Automatic review of the maximum daily and weekly working time
At the moment there are the following validations:
- Daily maximum working time
- Weekly maximum working time
If the defined maximum limits for the daily and weekly maximum working hours are exceeded, you will automatically receive a warning message.
2. Plausibility checks
You can let timr check your employees’ records for plausibility.
2.1. NEW Review project time with supporting working time
If activated, timr automatically checks if the project time has been booked within working hours.
This allows to detect errors when booking working or project time early.
Details, including activation, can be found here.
2.2. Review of overlaps for working hours and project times
You can also use this to prevent a customer from being billed twice for the same project time.
3. NEW Automatic review of internal guidelines for project time recording
As a supervisor, you want to make sure that employees book their working time accordingly to projects and tasks.
In order to facilitate the verification, you can define in timr how much project time should be recorded compared to working time. For example, you can define that project time has to be recorded for 80% of the working time.
More details can be found in this manual.
