Fleet HR and payroll without counting hours by hand

Hours worked by drivers are the basis for two things at once: the working time record and the payroll run. The module calculates them automatically from data on work performed, creates the document, sends it to the driver for electronic signature and keeps track of who has not signed yet.

Fleet HR is not a one-day-a-month job

Working time records, wage calculations, documents to sign, cash payouts and the cash documents that go with them — in a small fleet you can still handle all of this in a spreadsheet. With more drivers the spreadsheet starts to lie. Someone did not send the signed document back, someone's rate changed mid-period, somewhere a digit went missing while hours were being retyped.

The problem is that each of these small things surfaces as late as it possibly can: at payout time, or when someone tries to reconstruct the paperwork. By then it is not just a number that is wrong, but also a conversation with a driver and a gap in the records.

The module runs that whole sequence automatically — from data on work performed, through the record and the signature, to the wage calculation and the document confirming payment. Every stage leaves a trail in the system, so nothing has to be reconstructed later from emails and messages.

From hours to payout

  1. Hours calculated automatically. From data on work performed, the system calculates the number of hours each driver worked. Nobody retypes it by hand and nobody gathers it from several sources.
  2. Working time record created. The calculated hours become a working time record — a finished document, not a raw list that somebody still has to tidy up.
  3. Electronic signature by the driver. The document goes to the driver for electronic signature. The system tracks signing status and follows up on documents still waiting to be signed.
  4. Wages calculated. The payroll module takes hours worked, rates, deductions and the remaining parameters and produces an exact wage calculation.
  5. Payout and confirming document. The payout goes out by bank transfer, with the payment created automatically, or in cash — in which case the system generates a KW cash withdrawal document that the driver signs in the app.

What this changes day to day

Less load on bookkeeping
Automation covers the whole sequence: hours, record, signature, calculation, payout, cash document. Bookkeeping stops being the bottleneck at the end of every settlement period.
Simpler HR oversight
You can see who worked how much, which document is signed and which one is hanging. Oversight comes down to reading a list instead of reconstructing the state from correspondence.
Fewer calculation mistakes
Hours, rates and deductions enter the calculation automatically. The most common source of errors disappears: moving numbers by hand between a spreadsheet and the payroll.
Documents in order
Working time records, documents sent for signature and KW cash documents are created in one system and stay there, together with their current signature status.

Cash payouts without a gap in the paperwork

Some fleets pay drivers in cash, and this is usually exactly where the hole in the paperwork appears. The money went out and there is no document — or there is one, but nobody signed it, because the driver was out working.

The module closes that gap. On a cash payout the system automatically generates a KW cash withdrawal document, and the driver signs it in the mobile app. The document is created at the moment of payment and is signed straight away, instead of waiting for the driver's next visit to the office.

For a bank transfer the path is simpler still: the system creates the payment automatically from the calculated wage. In both cases the payout and the document confirming it are produced in the same process, so there is nothing to match up afterwards.

The module automates calculations, document flow and the signing of HR and payroll documents on the basis of the rules, rates and terms set in your company. The system helps prepare and document settlements with drivers, but it does not replace an accountant or the person responsible for HR — substantive judgement of the documents stays with them.

Frequently asked questions

Where does the system get the number of hours worked from?–

From the data on work performed already held in the system. On that basis the module calculates each driver's hours automatically and turns them into a working time record.

No. The document is sent to the driver for electronic signature, and once signed it returns to the system and is available to authorised fleet staff.

The system tracks the signing status of every document and follows up on those still unsigned. The manager sees the list of outstanding items without checking by hand.

Hours worked, rates, deductions and the remaining settlement parameters set in the company. On that basis a wage calculation is produced for each driver.

Yes. On a cash payout the system automatically generates a KW cash withdrawal document, which the driver can sign in the mobile app when receiving the money.
