Why tracking employee time with Excel and paper becomes a problem

In many businesses, employee time tracking has grown over the years – a timesheet here, an Excel spreadsheet there, a holiday calendar on the wall. As long as the team is small, it just about works. But as soon as multiple employees, departments, shifts or locations come together, manual employee time tracking becomes a source of errors: hours are recorded twice, balances don't add up, absences get lost and payroll is delayed month after month.

  • Working hours end up in separate Excel spreadsheets that no one properly consolidates
  • Overtime and time balances are calculated manually – prone to errors and disputes
  • Holiday, sickness and other absences are managed separately from time tracking
  • Payroll processing is delayed because hours first have to be collected and verified
  • Employees cannot see their current hour balance – leading to queries and discussions
  • A government inspection reveals a lack of complete, traceable working time records
  • HR management has no up-to-date overview of hours worked within the team

Frequently asked questions about employee time tracking

What is workforce time tracking?

Workforce time tracking refers to the systematic recording of the working hours of all employees in a business – including attendance, breaks, overtime, and absences. It forms the basis for accurate payroll processing, transparent time balances, and legally compliant working-time documentation.

Is workforce time tracking required by law?

Yes. Employers are obliged to record the start, end, and duration of their employees' daily working hours completely and traceably. Anyone who cannot provide seamless documentation risks administrative penalties during authority inspections.

How is overtime and time balances tracked?

Jobilino automatically calculates overtime, additional hours, and time balances based on the recorded times and the stored working-time models. Employees and management can view the current status at any time – manual recalculation is no longer necessary.

Does workforce time tracking also work for mobile employees?

Yes. Office-based employees clock in at the terminal or via browser, while mobile teams record their time using the app or NFC directly on site. Even without an internet connection, no bookings are lost – they are synchronised as soon as a connection is re-established.

How does workforce time tracking assist with payroll processing?

All working hours, overtime, and absences are consolidated and verified in a single system. The data can be filtered by employee, department, or time period and exported directly for payroll accounting – with no manual collation or correction required.

Is workforce time tracking GDPR-compliant?

Yes. All personnel data is transmitted in encrypted form and stored on EU servers. Via the role and permissions management, employees, team leaders and admins each see only the data relevant to them.

How quickly is Jobilino ready to use?

Typically within a few hours. Register, create locations and employees, distribute the app – from the next working day your employees record their hours digitally. No IT project, no weeks-long rollout, no external consulting required.
