The personal weekly calendar in PlainStaff visualizes all assigned projects and tasks in a way that supports optimal planning and prioritization. Whether a single project or the coordination of multiple parallel tasks – PlainStaff effortlessly creates the necessary overview and reduces stress. The operation is incredibly simple: parallel to the classic time and attendance recording, employees start their project times with just a few clicks, select the relevant customer and the specific task – for example, concept creation, installation, or an important meeting. The project time then runs automatically and separately from the total working time, ensuring exact allocation without double entries.

This direct line from the place of work to the system is an invaluable advantage, especially for mobile teams. Instead of having to rely on notes, times are booked live.

This creates a seamless documentation that records work progress, special incidents, or customer feedback immediately. Project managers benefit from a constantly updated overview, as all mobile entries are synchronized in real-time with the central PlainStaff platform. This ensures that all stakeholders are always on the same page.
