In many companies, payroll is the most stressful point of the month.
Missing timesheets, unclear overtime, handwritten notes and tedious Excel lists – all of that costs not just nerves, but above all time and money.

The key to a relaxed payroll run is clean, structured time tracking. That is exactly where Jobilino comes in.

Why payroll so often takes longer than it needs to

Typical problems in practice:

  • Employees hand in their hours late or not at all
  • Different formats (paper, photos, emails, WhatsApp)
  • Unclear break rules and missing break entries
  • Manual transfer of hours into payroll software
  • Follow-up questions: “Is this correct?”, “Where did you work that day?”

Every one of these interruptions delays payroll – and increases the error rate.

Digital time tracking as the basis for clean payroll

With a digital solution like Jobilino, working hours are recorded where they arise – directly by the employees:

All entries are stored consistently and in a structured way.
That means:

  • Clearly defined working hours
  • Recorded breaks and absences
  • Allocation to projects and locations
  • A complete history

Payroll therefore receives a clean, complete data package instead of an assortment of paper slips.

How Jobilino simplifies payroll in concrete terms

1. Complete data without chasing people
Because employees clock in daily, hardly any hours are missing at the end of the month. If something is missing, you see it in the system in good time.

2. Clear overtime and additional hours
Thresholds for regular hours, overtime or supplements can be prepared in the system (depending on your setup). That makes it immediately visible how many hours fall into which category.

3. Export instead of typing
Instead of transferring hours into your payroll software by hand, you export the data from Jobilino and pass it to your payroll clerk or tax adviser.

4. Traceability when questions come up
If employees raise a question (“My hours don’t add up”), you can trace the individual entries in detail:

Were breaks recorded correctly?

When was the entry made?

At which location or project?

Benefits for companies and payroll staff

For the company:

  • Considerably less effort during preparation
  • Fewer errors from manual transfer
  • Better transparency on staff costs per project
  • Faster month-end closing

For payroll (in-house or tax adviser):

  • Structured, complete data sets
  • Fewer queries back to the company
  • A clear basis for correct settlement

A practical example – from paper slips to digital payroll preparation

Picture two scenarios:

Option A – the classic way with paper and Excel

  • Timesheets are collected
  • Slips are incomplete or illegible
  • Hours are typed into Excel by hand
  • Then typed again into the payroll software
  • Queries go back to the employees
  • Closing takes several days

Option B – with Jobilino

  • Employees clock in daily via app or NFC
  • At the end of the month you generate an export
  • The data goes to payroll in one package
  • Queries are the exception
  • Closing happens in considerably less time

A special case: projects and sites

Many companies – in construction or building cleaning, for example – have to account not only for people but also for projects and sites.

With Jobilino you can:

  • Record hours per project or site
  • Allocate staff costs to those projects
  • Create reports for post-calculation and quoting

In this way digital time tracking bridges payroll and controlling.
