02
Shift Generator
Automatic shift generation from operating hours, active employment contracts and recorded vacations. Manual or locked entries are preserved, and fair distribution keeps workload even across the team.
03
Employment Contracts
Capture per employee the contract type (full-time, part-time, mini-job, seasonal, trainee, freelancer), job title, weekly hours, vacation entitlement, hourly wage and per-person scheduling parameters such as max consecutive workdays or minimum rest time.
04
Vacations & Leave
Manage vacation, sick leave, special leave, parental leave and training with an approval workflow (Requested → Approved/Rejected → Cancelled). Approved days automatically block shift scheduling and surface in the calendar.
05
Operating Hours
Define opening and closing times per weekday plus the minimum required staff. Closed days are honoured by the automatic shift generator.
06
Work Time Rules (ArbZG)
Pre-configured compliance values based on the German Working Time Act — max daily and weekly hours, minimum rest, Sunday and holiday handling, overtime thresholds. Override per tenant to match your collective agreement or country.
07
Work Calendar
A clear calendar view of all shifts and leave events, colour-coded by employee and event type. Filter by person, farm or status for maximum clarity.
08
Analytics & Forecasts
Widgets for contract expiry alerts (30/90/180 days), pending leave requests, scheduled total hours, overtime tracking and a 90-day absence forecast — ideal for proactive workforce planning.
09
Time Clock for Self Check-In
Employees clock themselves in and out without admin rights: start work, start break, end break, end work. The running work time ticks client-side via Alpine.js — no server polling. Access requires an active employment contract at the farm.
10
Breaks and Net Working Time
Every break is recorded as its own interval (start/end) and the break duration is summed automatically. On clock-out, the system computes actual hours as end minus start minus break minutes.
11
Hours Record per § 17 MiLoG
Generate a print-ready hours record (A4) per employee and month. It lists start, end, break and actual hours for every workday with a monthly total and carries the statutory notice text under § 17 MiLoG on recording the start, end and duration of daily working time.
