Background

What is time tracking software — and why do you need it?

Time tracking software automatically records when employees start work, take breaks, and end their day. Unlike manual timesheets or spreadsheets, a modern solution eliminates transcription errors, duplicate entries, and lost records — giving HR teams and managers an accurate picture of actual hours worked at any time.

Following the 2019 ECJ ruling and subsequent labor law amendments, businesses in Germany are required to systematically record employees' working hours. This covers not just core hours, but overtime, on-call duties, and remote work. Incomplete or missing documentation can result in fines and legal exposure.

Syvera Time Tracking goes beyond mere compliance: you get real-time analytics, automated approval workflows, flexible models for shift work and remote work, and seamless handoff to payroll — all from a single interface that requires no IT expertise.

Practical guide

Which time tracking method fits your business?

Not every time tracking solution suits every business. Companies with fixed shifts have different needs than project service providers with variable billing or firms with many field employees. Choosing the right method — stamp-based, calendar-driven, or project-based — determines how smoothly the rollout goes and how well the team adopts it.

Syvera supports all common models: classic clock-in via app or browser, calendar integration for knowledge workers, project-based booking for agencies and service providers, and fully automated GPS-based tracking for field teams. All models can be combined and configured separately per department or employee group.

Especially during rollout, a phased approach pays off: start with a pilot group, gather feedback, then expand company-wide. With Syvera, this process is typically completed within a week — no external consultants, no extensive training programs required.
