Register hours like a PRO<\/span><\/h1>\n

<\/p>\n

Work completed before 8 a.m. has a different rate, weekend hours are paid differently, and return travel hours are registered separately. Every month, someone in the office has to sort all these hours out manually. It takes time and mistakes are easily made.<\/p>\n

With Simple-Simon\u2019s Hour Registration PRO<\/span>, your technician registers their hours just once, on a job sheet or task. The correct booking code and percentage are then applied automatically. The office team simply checks the hours, makes adjustments where needed, and approves them. No retyping and no manual calculations.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t

How the hour registration app works for your technician<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Your technician opens the app on their own phone or tablet, selects what they are working on and registers their hours as soon as the job is finished. Working hours, travel hours and breaks are entered as separate lines, so there is no need to calculate or add anything up manually. If they are working in a basement or technical room without an internet connection, the app works offline and synchronises everything as soon as they are back online.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At the office, you can see the registered hours coming in throughout the day, instead of waiting until paper notes land on your desk on Friday. That is the whole point of digital hour registration: the hours are already there before anyone needs to ask for them.<\/p>\n

The app works on both iOS and Android, and your technician does not need to know any booking codes. These are automatically linked to the type of hours they select.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\t

Breaking down hours currently takes up most of your time<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Registering hours is not the problem. Breaking them down is. Public holidays, weekend hours and overtime all have different rates. As long as those hours come in through an Excel file or on a paper note, someone in the office has to calculate them manually every month. And even then, there is still the question of whether everything is correct.<\/p>\n

With Hour Registration PRO<\/span>, that breakdown happens while the hours are being registered. Your technician simply selects in the app what they have done, and Simple-Simon automatically applies the correct booking code and percentage. So what arrives at the office is not a list of hours that still needs to be processed, but a daily timesheet that is already ready to be checked.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>

What you define for each hour type<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

You decide which hour types your company uses and which booking code and percentage are linked to each one. They are managed in one place in the office module, so everyone works with the same definitions.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here is an example of the most commonly used hour types:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Approving hours: the office checks, adjusts and approves<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

The hours entered by the technician are checked by the office team. They can view the submitted daily timesheet, compare the registered hours with the scheduled hours, make adjustments where needed and then approve them with a signature.<\/p>\n

From that moment on, it is clear what has been registered and who approved it. Only approved hours are included in your reports. That helps prevent discussions afterwards. You no longer need to search through paper notes to find out who submitted what and when, and if a technician needs to correct their hours, they do so before anything is approved rather than afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\t

Hours on a job sheet or task<\/h2>\n

Not all work is linked to a job sheet. A technician might spend a morning in the workshop, drive to a supplier or take a day of leave. With Hour Registration PRO<\/span>, they can simply register those hours on a separate task, so at the end of the week you have a complete daily timesheet instead of one with gaps in it.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\t

Reporting and export<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Filter by date, technician or project and you have the overview you need. View daily, weekly and monthly totals per technician and per booking code, and export them as a PDF daily timesheet or Excel file.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It is exactly the overview you need at the end of the month: working hours, overtime and travel hours side by side, broken down by booking code.<\/p>\n

Filter by project and you can see how many hours have been spent on it so far and whether that matches your budget. This way, you can spot halfway through a job that it is taking more time than expected, rather than only finding out when the final invoice is prepared.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\t
