Sound familiar?

Four pains we hear every week from Swiss KMU owners.

Vacation balance never adds up

Excel rounding errors, forgotten cantonal holidays, the age-50 bonus overlooked, and an employee complains.

Sickness with KTG is fragile

Waiting days misconfigured, replacement organised manually, payroll impact captured late.

Vacation collides with the shift schedule

You approve the vacation, and notice two weeks later that the shift is unfilled.

Requests come by mail or paper

Who approved? When? Based on which balance calculation? Nobody remembers anymore.

How Stunden handles it

Three concrete steps. Real screens, no slide-ware.
