Read this page as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.

The Payroll Officer

Weighted verdict

Turns the recorded month into an payroll run and answers for it. Cares about surcharges for night, Sunday and holiday work, time accounts that reconcile, and corrections that arrive after the close. Treats "export to CSV" as an admission that the handoff was never designed.

Same scores as the panel view — this lens weights them the way this judge cares.

Capture in the real workplace

How this is scored

How time actually gets recorded across the workforces a buyer has — desk staff, field and site crews, shift and deskless workers — and what happens when the network is not there.

0 — Not a time-recording tool; working time cannot be captured in the product.

3 — Clocking in and out or a timer in the browser or an app, with manual entries; offline use, shared terminals and corrections are basic or not described.

5 — Web and mobile apps for clocking in and out, a shared kiosk, terminal or badge option or offline capture that syncs, and corrections requested by the employee and approved by a manager.

8 — Several capture paths including hardware terminals or badge readers, reliable offline handling, GPS or geofenced check-in where the vendor states its limits, and bulk correction with an audit trail of who changed what.

10 — Capture fits the workforce rather than the reverse: desk, deskless, field and shift models all first-class, offline as a designed state rather than a failure mode, and every correction attributable, reasoned and reversible.

Report an error

The Payroll Officer

Clock-in runs through mobile apps, the browser, a customizable kiosk, timeclock terminals and Bluetooth beacons, and entries made offline auto-sync once connectivity returns. Timesheets are submitted to managers for approval and the platform keeps a full audit log of all changes, filterable by period, user and team, exportable to XLS. We found no public information on GPS or geofenced check-in with stated limits or on bulk corrections, which keeps this short of the top marks. 3 4 6 10

Working-time law & audit record

How this is scored

Whether the record satisfies the German recording duty (BAG 2022, § 3 ArbSchG) and the ArbZG rules around it — breaks, maximum hours, rest periods, retention — and whether it survives being inspected.

0 — A project or task timer that keeps no attendance record of working time (start, end, breaks).

3 — Start, end and break times recorded per day with a working-time report per employee; ArbZG checks and retention are basic or not described.

5 — Start, end and breaks recorded for the recording duty (BAG 2022 or ArbZG named), automatic break rules, warnings on the daily maximum or the rest period, and overtime balances.

8 — The ArbZG rules are modelled rather than approximated: break and rest enforcement with documented exceptions, overtime and time-account rules, the two-year retention handled by the system, a change log on entries, and an export built for an inspection.

10 — The vendor treats the record as evidence: tamper-evident entries with full change history, retention and deletion executed per statute, documented handling of on-call, standby and travel time, and published guidance mapping features to the ArbZG sections they serve.

Report an error

The Payroll Officer

Clock-in events, calculated overtime, lunch breaks and paid/unpaid hour types are recorded, with hourly flexitime balances and daily or weekly alerts on target hours, but compliance is framed in American terms — FLSA rounding to the 7-minute rule and the standard 40-hour week — rather than the German recording duty. Locking can be daily, weekly or monthly with only system administrators able to edit afterwards, and the audit log exports to XLS ready to present to auditors. We found no public information naming the BAG 2022 decision or the ArbZG, automatic break rules, rest-period enforcement or statutory retention of the working-time record; the only retention statement covers customer data up to 90 days after account closure. 2 4 6 8 10

Report an error

Absence & shift planning

How this is scored

Vacation, sickness and the shift or duty roster — the half of attendance that decides whether the time data means anything.

0 — Neither absence handling nor shift planning is part of the product.

3 — Vacation requests with approval and an absence calendar, or a basic shift plan; entitlement rules and rostering are basic or not described.

5 — Absence management with entitlement balances, sickness recording and an absence calendar, plus shift or duty planning with templates or employee availability.

8 — Public-holiday calendars per location, pro-rata entitlement and carry-over, substitution and swap workflows, shift templates with qualification and rest-period checks, and coverage warnings before publication.

10 — Planning and recording are one system: rosters that respect statutory rest and the works agreement, absence that reflows the plan automatically, and forecast-versus-actual reporting a team lead can act on.

Report an error

The Payroll Officer

Employees request absences through a department and approval hierarchy, vacation quotas are monitored, and sick leave, annual leave, maternity leave and national holidays are recorded as task types in a dedicated absence project, alongside a calendar overview of absences and shifts and automatic morning, afternoon and night shift detection with bonuses in the sibling product All Hours. Absences export to payroll. We found no public information on pro-rata entitlement, carry-over, substitution and swap workflows, coverage warnings, or rostering with templates and availability checks. 4 6 7

Report an error

Project, cost-centre & billing

How this is scored

Whether recorded time can carry the allocation an agency, workshop or professional-services firm needs — project, task, cost centre, billable status — through to an invoice or a client report.

0 — Attendance only; the product records time without any project, task or cost-centre dimension.

3 — Time booked to projects or clients with a report per project; rates and billable status are basic or not described.

5 — Projects and tasks with a billable flag, hourly rates, reports per project and client, and an export or integration toward invoicing.

8 — Multi-level structure (client, project, task, cost centre), rate cards by person, role and project, budget tracking with warnings, and an invoice-ready export.

10 — Time becomes revenue without re-entry: approval before billing, rate rules that survive a rate change mid-project, client-facing reports, and a maintained handoff into named accounting or invoicing systems.

Report an error

The Payroll Officer

Recorded time carries a four-level hierarchy of clients, projects, tasks and tags, with cost centres and job codes enabled through custom fields, separate labor and billing rates set per user, task, project or single time log, and monetary or time budgets in total hours, billable amount or costs with percentage-spend email alerts. Numbered invoices are created straight from hours logged, report updates can be scheduled to clients, and a period-specific export of every categorized time entry is built for upload into accounting systems. We found no public information on rate rules surviving a mid-project rate change, and the accounting handoff names no specific systems. 4 8 9 10

Payroll handoff

How this is scored

How the recorded month reaches payroll — DATEV, Lohn und Gehalt, an in-house system or the tax adviser — and how much of it is automated rather than retyped.

0 — Payroll is outside the product: it records client or project time only and prepares nothing for payroll.

3 — An export (CSV, Excel or PDF) of hours and absences for the payroll office; named formats and surcharges are basic or not described.

5 — A named payroll integration or a documented export format for at least one major system (e.g. DATEV LODAS/Lohn und Gehalt), covering hours, absences and overtime.

8 — Vendor-maintained integration with a named provider, covering night, Sunday and holiday surcharges, time accounts and mid-month changes, with a lock step before transmission.

10 — Payroll is designed for, not exported to: several named systems maintained, an auditable approval and lock, retro handling for corrections after the close, and the tax adviser given their own scoped access.

Report an error

The Payroll Officer

Payroll export is a declared use case, and paid and unpaid hours, work from home, overtime, lunch breaks and absences export as PDF, XLS or CSV/TSV, with an API and Zapier to connect to any payroll provider the buyer chooses; time logs can be locked daily, weekly or monthly before handoff. The captured pages name no payroll system — nothing like DATEV or Lohn und Gehalt appears — and the only surcharge handling we found is the sibling product All Hours calculating bonuses for morning, afternoon and night shifts. We found no public information on Sunday and holiday surcharges in the export, mid-month changes, or retro corrections after the close. 1 4 6 10

European sovereignty

How this is scored

Where the data lives, who the contracting entity is, who the subprocessors are, and whether that is documented rather than assumed. Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; scored here as this buyer weighs it. Dimensions not proven either way are unknown, not non-European.

0 — Vendor, contracting entity and hosting shown to be outside the EU, and no data processing agreement offered.

3 — A privacy policy and a data processing agreement exist and one European element is proven (an EU contracting entity or representative, or EU hosting as an option); the rest of the chain is not stated.

5 — An EU contracting entity and EU hosting stated, with a data processing agreement; the subprocessor list is not published in full or includes non-EU providers without a stated safeguard.

8 — EU or DACH hosting with a named data-centre provider, EU contracting entity, the full subprocessor list published with locations, and any non-EU processing named with its legal basis.

10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: vendor, entity, hosting and every subprocessor in the EU, data-centre certification published, and an on-premises or private-cloud option for buyers who need it.

Report an error

The Payroll Officer

The pages state a European footing — headquarters in Ljubljana, Slovenia and "we are based in the EU" — and hosting is on Microsoft Azure with 99.95% uptime, but no Azure region or EU hosting guarantee is stated. The full subprocessor list is available only on request, and we found no public information on a data processing agreement. A European vendor presence is proven while the rest of the chain — hosting region, subprocessors, agreement — remains unstated. 1 2 5

Pricing transparency not rated — the vendor publishes no price

How this is scored

Whether a buyer can compute the real annual invoice for their headcount — including terminals, modules and minimums — from public pages alone.

0 — No public prices at all; every tier is a sales conversation.

3 — A public "from" price per user or one priced tier; how cost scales with modules, hardware or minimum seats is unclear.

5 — Per-user prices public for the main tiers with the billing period stated and the main inclusions given; some pieces (terminal hardware, planning module, payroll export) may be unpriced.

8 — Every tier and module priced publicly with per-user maths, billing period, minimum term and VAT treatment stated; only genuinely custom work lacks a number.

10 — Complete price computability: a calculator or table producing the annual invoice for a given headcount and module selection, including hardware, setup and renewal terms.

Report an error

The Payroll Officer

Public pricing stops at structure rather than amounts: free for teams of up to five users, a 14-day free trial with no credit card, API access in every subscription, and an invitation for teams of 20 or more users to book a demo. We found no public information on per-user prices for the paid tiers, billing periods, or the cost of terminals and planning modules, so a buyer cannot compute an annual invoice from the captured pages. 1 3 4 5
