Timesheet software.From the sheet to payroll approval.

Add your employees and define their shift templates, which gives every month an expected-hours baseline. From there, enter daily records by hand or import the CSV export your attendance device already produces. Rows are matched to employees by e-mail. Totals are ready the moment records are in. Your old spreadsheets stay as your archive, and nothing has to be re-keyed. The point of the move is not to decorate Excel. It is to turn the timesheet into the input row of the payroll packet. Run the first period next to the old sheet. A person closes the record.

When you create a pay run in Otto HR, each employee's worked and expected hours appear next to their salary reference, with a one-click prorated suggestion for the pay amount. You accept, adjust, or ignore it, and a person approves every figure. And if you just need a quick Turkish gross-to-net number, our free payroll calculator is available too.

Expected hours come from each employee's assigned shift, so worked time above them shows up as overtime in the monthly summary, overnight shifts included, and the pay-run suggestion prorates above 100% instead of capping. Turkish regulation also expects overtime to be documented: under the overtime regulation issued under Labor Law No. 4857 (art. 10), a signed record of overtime hours must be kept in the employee's personnel file, and day-by-day records make that documentation far easier.

No specific software is mandatory, but employers must be able to document working time: the working-time regulation under Labor Law No. 4857 (art. 9) obliges employers to document employees' working hours with suitable means, and under Social Insurance Law No. 5510 (art. 86) workplace records must be retained for ten years and produced on request. Clock records are also standard evidence in wage and overtime disputes. In Otto HR every entry is stored with its date, and past months stay reachable, including for former employees.

Two names for one monthly close. Personnel puantaj is the sheet that shows how many days and hours each person worked. Timesheet tracking is that sheet filling itself day by day. Both are the monthly face of personnel records: not watching who walked through the door, but having the number ready to hand to payroll when the month ends. In Otto HR the cetvel fills from clock records and approved leave. A person reviews it, signs it, and the packet goes to the pay run.

The sitcom version: HR emails a spreadsheet, accounting retypes it, nobody knows which file is current. Timesheet software drops the month's totals into pay-run prep as a suggestion: hours worked, hours expected, leave days side by side. You look, you adjust, or you accept. A person signs the figure that lands on the record. Handoff is an approval handshake, not a second table.

No. Timesheet software is the hours ledger, not door hardware. A device or a file produces hours. The program joins those hours with approved leave and builds the sheet you can hand off at month end. Otto HR does not sell or run devices. The product is the timesheet-to-payroll approval packet. Timesheet software is the line from Excel to payroll. It is not a hardware contest.

Because payroll cannot close without worked hours and leave days. The classic scene is HR emailing a sheet and accounting retyping it. Timesheet software closes that loop: month totals sit as a proposal, a person reviews, and the packet goes to the accountant or the period close. The job is stamping prepared work, not memorising a number.

Attendance and time tracking collect the hours that actually happened. The timesheet is the approved monthly sheet those hours become. That sheet hands off to the payroll packet. Otto HR keeps this line on one employee record. A PDKS device is a different buy. Otto HR does not sell or run that hardware.

No. A work schedule states expected hours. The timesheet is the approved record of what happened. Otto HR ties the schedule to the sheet, and the sheet to the payroll packet. A person locks it. A schedule alone does not produce payroll.
