  2. 07:30 Employee Employees see their assignment and tap “Start”.
  3. 16:00 Team lead The team lead checks the times on site and approves them.
  4. Month end Office The office closes the month – timesheets and DATEV file are ready.

  • Working Hours Act warnings
  • Reason when rejecting

Frequently asked questions

Do my employees need an app from the app store?

No. Zetly runs in the phone’s browser. Employees get a link via WhatsApp or e-mail, choose their language and a password – done.

What happens without internet at the customer’s site?

The time keeps running and is saved on the phone. As soon as there is signal again, Zetly sends the entries automatically.

Does Zetly work with our payroll?

Zetly creates an import file for DATEV LODAS or a simple CSV file that DATEV Lohn und Gehalt and other programs can read. You set up the wage types once with your tax advisor.

Can we bring our existing lists?

Yes. Employees, customers and sites can be imported from an Excel file. Zetly shows you beforehand what will be created.

Where is the data stored?

On servers in Germany. Transfer is encrypted, passwords are only stored as a secure hash.

What does Zetly cost?

Nothing during the test phase – all features are free and we do not ask for payment details. Before Zetly becomes a paid service, we will inform you by e-mail at least four weeks in advance. There is no automatic switch: costs only arise if you book a plan yourself.

What does “test phase” mean?

Zetly is fully usable and is continuously improved. Report questions, wishes and problems directly in the app under “Help & feedback” – you will get the answer by e-mail and in the app.
