Timesheets and report cards are both important tools. Because they answer two different questions for your clientele and your office:
- Time sheet: The time sheet tells you how long the employee has worked. The timesheet should include the start and end of work. You can also see break times and overtime here.
- Performance record: The report slip tells you which tasks the employee has completed. It also contains information on the material used, special costs, fees and working time.
Due to various laws - such as the German Act to Combat Clandestine Employment (Schwarzarbeitsbekämpfungsgesetz) - some trade businesses are already obliged to record the work hours of their workforce in full anyway. According to the Federal Labor Court (BAG), however, the obligation to record work hours has applied to all companies since September 2022.
Digital time recording and report slips make life easier for everyone involved: your Tradesmen and women, your accounting department, and your clientele.
A note here, a WhatsApp photo there: information often flies around everywhere, just not where you're looking for it. With the digital version, you reduce the paper chaos in the office, in the glove compartment and on the dashboard. Because the Digital Forms are stored in the Meisterwerk app within the Job.
