The Problem

A growing Slovak construction company was managing employee attendance, wages, and site costs across multiple active construction sites using manual Excel sheets. Errors were frequent, monthly payroll took days, and managers had no real-time overview of costs per site.

Our Solution

A fully automated Google Sheets system replacing all manual tracking — 3 contract types, automatic wage calculation, daily attendance statuses, site cost splitting, and per-employee monthly reports. Built to run without any technical knowledge from the client.

What we built

Employee Management

3 contract types (employment, trade licence, agreement), automatic hourly rate calculation and vacation entitlement tracking.

Daily Attendance Tracking

Work / Sick Leave / Vacation / Holiday / Inactive statuses with dual-site support and automatic cost split.

Smart Site Management

Active/inactive site filtering via dynamic FILTER formulas — no manual list maintenance required.

Automatic Cost Calculation

Real-time hours × rate per employee, separate logic per contract type, auto-attributed to the correct site.

Monthly Reports

Total hours and costs per site per month, per-employee breakdown, sick leave and vacation costs tracked.

Employee Dashboard

Actual vs. planned hours, cumulative balance from first working day, remaining vacation, per-site cost breakdown.

Phase 2 — Planned

  • Role-based access (Admin / Manager / Employee)
