Check these FAQs first
How does zeit ag support simple and transparent time tracking?
zeit ag provides a central solution for the flexible and transparent recording of working hours and absences. Time can be recorded independently of location using various methods such as web, mobile devices, or terminals, and flows consistently into a shared database.
All time information, balances, and absences are clearly presented and available in real time. This ensures continuous transparency regarding current entries, planned absences, and the status of working hours.
In addition, the system supports automation and integration into existing work environments. This allows time tracking to be seamlessly embedded into daily work while remaining clear, reliable, and traceable.
Which companies and use cases are the solutions from zeit ag suitable for?
The solutions from zeit ag are suitable for companies of various sizes and industries that want to manage working hours, absences, and personnel deployment in a structured and legally compliant way. The software supports both traditional office work models and complex deployment and shift planning in decentralized or multi-site organizations.
Thanks to modular features and configurable working time models, the solution can be flexibly adapted to existing processes – from simple time management to comprehensive workforce and deployment planning.
Do I get a reliable overview of vacation balances, planned absences, and remaining vacation from the previous year in addition to time tracking with the system?
Yes. The system provides clear evaluations of vacation and time accounts and shows both the current status and the projected remaining balances as of the end of the year (December 31). This makes it possible at any time to see how vacation and time balances will develop by year-end.
In addition, absences are displayed in a central calendar that clearly consolidates the planned absences of employees within a team you define. This allows vacations, absences, and capacities to be identified early and planned reliably.
Does the Corporate Health Management (CHM) module support the identification of unusual absence patterns?
Yes. The CHM module supports the early identification of unusual absence patterns by systematically evaluating defined rules and automatically flagging specified irregularities. This includes, for example, health-related absences that occur with a defined frequency on certain weekdays.
These indications are then being flagged automatically, which enables potential developments to be identified at an early stage. This makes it clear when a closer look is advisable and action may be required.
As a result, more time and clarity are gained to analyze possible causes and to plan targeted supportive measures or initiate discussions at an early stage—before patterns become established or stressful situations arise.
How flexibly can personnel deployment planning be sorted and adjusted according to professional qualifications or other criteria?
Personnel deployment planning can be flexibly adapted to professional requirements or other criteria. For this purpose, a corresponding hierarchy can be set up in the system. This hierarchy can be displayed via an additional column in shift planning and used for sorting. After a one-time setup, the configuration is available on all clients and can be used at any time.
In addition, users have the option to individually show or hide the sorting column and adjust the order of employees in the planning according to their own needs. This keeps planning clear and allows it to be displayed flexibly depending on the situation.
