The timesheet that keeps itself
Otto keeps the timesheet. You sign it off.
Otto HR brings daily clock-in/out records, shift schedules, and approved leave together in one view. The puantaj — the monthly timesheet Turkish payroll is calculated from — comes out on its own, and the totals flow straight into pay-run preparation. No Excel template, no month-end scramble.

Why Otto
Chasing the month-end timesheet stops being your job.
01
Records already in
Clock-in/out records, shift schedules, and approved leave live in one place — no gathering data from separate files to build the timesheet.
02
Totals, worked out for you
Worked time is compared against each employee's expected hours from their shift. Overtime and missing days surface on their own.
03
One step from the pay run
Monthly totals land in pay-run preparation as suggestions. A person approves every figure, and recorded periods never change on their own.
How it works
Otto works the data. You make the calls.
Clock-ins and outs, one ledger
Enter daily records by hand, or import the export file your card reader or turnstile (PDKS attendance device) already produces — e-mail, date, in, out. Otto HR sells no hardware and operates no devices. It reads the data your existing setup generates. That distinction matters in Turkey, where biometric data such as fingerprints is special-category personal data under the KVKK data protection law (Law No. 6698, art. 6).

Worked next to expected
Expected hours come from the shift template each employee is assigned to — overnight shifts included. The monthly summary shows worked, expected, overtime, and missing days per person, with a day-by-day drill-in.

Leave lands on the timesheet by itself
Approved leave already lives in Otto HR and is reflected in the month automatically — half-days included. For payroll, paid leave counts as a fulfilled schedule, so nothing is entered twice.
Company overview
This monthTotals flow into pay-run prep
When you create a pay run, each employee's worked and expected hours appear next to their salary reference, with a one-click prorated suggestion. You accept it, adjust it, or ignore it — recorded runs are never recalculated behind your back.

Frequently asked questions
In Turkey, payroll is calculated from a monthly timesheet called the puantaj cetveli: each employee's days and hours worked, overtime, leave, and absences. A puantaj program keeps the daily attendance records and produces that timesheet, replacing a hand-maintained spreadsheet. Otto HR's take is agentic: clock-in/out records and approved leave come together on their own, worked time is compared against each person's shift, and the monthly totals land in pay-run preparation as suggestions — a person reviews and approves every step. For the concept itself, the "What is puantaj?" page in our HR glossary goes deeper.
Add your employees and define their shift templates — that 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.
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 — 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 — 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.
