Blog on time and attendance, personnel files and HR management

Eight hours at the office, followed by an evening on the sofa: your body notices how much you’re sitting, even if you hardly realise it yourself. Find out here what this does to your muscles, back and concentration, and discover five simple habits you can adopt to counteract it.

Mobile time recording makes life much easier for field staff and on construction sites. However, as soon as GPS comes into play, employees are quick to fear surveillance. It is important to note that recording a location when clocking in is not the same as continuous tracking. What matters most are the purpose, scope and transparency.

The current critical PHP security vulnerabilities do not affect our SaaS.de applications. Our PHP-based websites were updated on 21 October.

SaaS.de is running smoothly and has actually been responding even faster since the move to the new cluster.

Weddings, births or bereavements: employees may be granted paid leave for special personal occasions in addition to their annual leave. Knowing the rules and communicating them clearly helps to avoid disputes in individual cases and legal pitfalls.

The new SaaS.de app is here! It lets you clock in and out with a single tap, choose a project when clocking in, view your current time balances and overtime, access a clear overview of your holiday entitlement, submit holiday requests straight away, and use the app offline with automatic synchronisation.

Modern design, improved readability and a clearer overview: we have revamped the calendar views in the leave management system. The leave calendar now displays your year in clear monthly tiles, and the departments can be used more flexibly.

The traditional personnel file is kept in a filing cabinet – and is therefore always in just one place. With a digital personnel file, however, authorised staff can access the personnel documents they need wherever they are: in the office, whilst working from home or on the move.

In the case of documents such as driving licences or criminal record certificates, automatic reminders and self-service functions further reduce the workload on the HR department: employees are prompted in good time to submit up-to-date supporting documents themselves.

On 17 October, from 09:00 to 13:00, we will be optimising the configuration of our new servers to make the platform more stable and faster in the long term.
