August turned time tracking into a platform built for schools and closed the gaps HR teams reported from their first months in production.

Highlights

  • Pre-booked hours and month close. Weeks are pre-filled from the work plan, reduced by absences and holidays, confirmed weekly, and a month-close screen shows what is left.
  • Betriebsferien and Schulferien. Closure calendars per staff group, all 26 cantons, and manager-approved work during closures.
  • Arbeitszeit hub. Groups, weekly plans, the year calendar and Gleitzeit settings in one place, with a school-year timeline and an openings matrix.
  • Organisation redesign. A Standort lens, filters, circles with meeting cadence, and Stellvertretungen with validity windows.
  • Read-only access for the external Lohnbüro. A new PAYROLL_PROVIDER role sees master data, contracts, IBANs and the data check, and changes nothing.

Also new

  • Vacation carryover with preview and confirmation; configurable leave accounting period.
  • ArG checks for rest time, night and Sunday work; team absence calendar; CSV and XLSX export.
  • Applications can be moved to a different position.
  • See when recipients open the links you e-mailed them.
  • Probation questionnaires can be answered online, and employees see every answer about them.
  • The Personalstammblatt collects gender, Heimatort, ZEMIS and Quellensteuer data and requires the full set at submission.
  • Employees stay signed in for 30 days, with silent Microsoft sign-in in the mobile app.
  • Stronger data protection: AHV numbers and payslip data are encrypted at rest, and HR staff see only their own org units.

Fixes and polish

A missing work schedule is treated as an empty plan, the AHV number prefills correctly in contracts, the talent-pool consent page is available in all three languages, and month and week groupings no longer shift with the server’s time zone.
