ZEIT.IO is a platform for automatically billing project time. Approved project time can be automatically billed and credited. The automatically generated outgoing invoices and credit notes are valid e-invoices according to EN16931 (ZUGFeRD & XRechnung).
Companies can map and manage both permanent employees and freelancers on ZEIT.IO. Both freelancers and employees can book time for projects and submit it for approval. For freelancers or suppliers, you can store up to four different purchase and sales rates in the project. For example, for remote and on-site work.
A permanent employee, logically, only ever has one purchase rate. The employee's salary does not depend on whether they work remotely or on-site. Accordingly, you could previously only store one sales rate per employee in the project. But that's changing now!
From now on, you can store up to five different sales rates for one employee in the project!
If a member of staff is now added or edited to the project, the form looks like this:
On the left side, the five cost rates are always the same. This is the average cost rate, or hourly wage, stored in the employee contract. On the right side, different sales rates can be stored for each hour category.
If the employee records their time and there is more than one stored sales rate for the selected project, an additional drop-down menu for the hour category appears in the modal window.
This allows the employee to choose whether they worked remotely, on-site, or through other means. Of course, the employee does not see the stored purchase and sales rates. These hourly rates are visible only to the organization's administrators. This structure allows for more flexibility in the project and allows permanent employees to be represented in a similar way to freelancers.
