Time tracking & overtime

Record working hours, keep overtime under control, comply with the Labour Act, without Excel.

Since 2016, recording working time has been a legal requirement for most employees in Switzerland (Ordinance 1 to the Labour Act, Art. 73). In many SMEs it nevertheless still runs on Excel lists, scraps of paper, or not at all — with the risk of gaps during an inspection and of unpaid or disputed overtime.

HREasy turns this into a matter of seconds: employees record arrival, departure and breaks on mobile or desktop, the agent continuously calculates overtime, excess hours and balances, and monitors the limits of the Labour Act in the background. You can see where your business stands at any time, and you are warned before a breach occurs.

Sound familiar?

  • Timesheets come back late, illegible, or not at all.
  • At the end of the month you add up overtime by hand — error-prone and time-consuming.
  • You are unsure whether maximum working hours and rest periods are being observed.
  • When the labour inspectorate calls, the clean documentation is missing.

What HREasy offers

Mobile recording

Arrival, departure and breaks with a single tap, including on the building site, in the shop or out in the field. No terminal and no app installation required.

Automatic excess hours

Overtime and excess hours are calculated continuously, including supplements under Art. 321c of the Code of Obligations. You see the current balance per person without recalculating.

Labour Act monitoring in real time

Maximum working hours (45 or 50 hours), rest periods and night work are monitored. If a breach is imminent, the agent warns you immediately.

Projects & cost centres

Hours can be booked to jobs or cost centres — ideal for trades and services that bill by project.

Corrections with an audit trail

Subsequent adjustments are possible and are logged, so that the records remain audit-proof.

Reports & export

Monthly reports, balances and payroll exports at the press of a button, as PDF or Excel.

In detail

Compliant without the effort

The Labour Act requires the start and end of work as well as breaks to be recorded. HREasy meets these requirements automatically and stores the data so that you can provide information immediately during an inspection.

For employees with a higher salary and a large degree of autonomy, simplified recording is possible. HREasy supports both variants and helps you choose the right one for each person.

Overtime and excess hours kept properly apart

Overtime (beyond the contractual hours) and excess hours (beyond the statutory maximum working time) follow different rules. HREasy distinguishes the two cleanly, calculates supplements and shows what may be paid out and what may be compensated with time off.

This avoids expensive back payments and arguments, because it is transparent at all times how a balance came about.
