From the job to the payslip

Four steps, one system. Each step supplies the data for the next.

Plan without planning against the law

The weekly calendar shows all employees and jobs. If a job breaches the rest period or the maximum working time, MakeTime reports it before saving.

  • Jobs by drag and drop, recurring orders and teams
  • Absent staff are blocked, the substitution assistant suggests cover
  • Day view for the phone
