Time tracking for the trades
Whether joinery, painting or electrical business: your team clocks in from the phone at the customer's, you book hours to the right job. Without collecting timesheets.
Time-wasters you know in the trades.
Trade businesses work on many jobs at the same time. Stempli records who spent how long where, so you bill cleanly and nothing is forgotten at month-end.

A day in the workshop with Stempli
Between the workshop and installation jobs, this is how you keep track.
- 07:00The joiner clocks in at the workshop and selects as the cost centre the job he is driving out to install today.
- 09:00Mid-morning break (Znüni) at the customer's, clocked with one tap and deducted automatically.
- 12:00Lunch break. The hours keep running onto the right job.
- 16:30Clocking out at the customer's. A note records what extra time-and-materials work was done.
- Month-endYou analyse the hours per job and invoice time-and-materials work with supporting records.
What applies in the trades
Many trades have their own collective labour agreements, often declared generally binding. They supplement the Labour Act with rules on working time and supplements.
Collective labour agreements in the industry
Whether joinery, painting or building services: many trades have a CLA (GAV) with requirements on working time and overtime. Joint (parity) commissions check compliance using the records of hours.
Workshop, installation and travel time
The journey from home to the workshop is not working time. Trips to customers during work are. Clocking properly separates the two without any discussion.
Documenting time-and-materials work (Regiearbeiten)
For time-and-materials invoices, you need traceable hours per job. With a cost centre per job, the basis for the invoice is already there.
A brief overview, not legal advice. The Labour Act and the collective labour agreement that applies to your business are authoritative.
One plan, everything included, fair per employee.
A fair base fee plus a fixed price per employee. No hidden costs, no lock-in.
