Medienhaus tracks overtime fairly
At Medienhaus Wilhelmshaven, time tracking used to run on gut feeling – whoever had stayed late simply left early on another day. It was never reliable, and it was certainly never properly documented.
With clockin, owner Inga Bernsau found a solution that convinced her from the start: overtime is now tracked to the minute and evened out fairly – with no sense of being monitored.

Inga Bernsau runs her agency with a passion for creativity and a clear eye for what is practical. When the statutory record-keeping obligation came up, it mattered to her not to pick an overloaded project management tool, but an intuitive solution with no frills.
After a short trial account, her decision for clockin was made. Today she uses it every day – for time tracking, absences and the employee file, with no technical background at all.

This is Medienhaus Wilhemshaven
Medienhaus Wilhelmshaven is an advertising and communications agency from Wilhelmshaven that looks after small and mid-sized companies in Lower Saxony and beyond – from websites and social media to design and classic advertising.
Rather than claiming to know better, the team deliberately relies on listening and personal advice. Customer meetings usually take place at the agency itself, supplemented by flexible home office options.
Every week starts with a team breakfast where all customer appointments and projects are synchronized – the basis for the collegial, creative atmosphere in the team.

An end to estimated overtime
For Inga Bernsau the overtime rules are not a question of control but a question of fairness towards the team. At Medienhaus Wilhelmshaven there have been no more discussions about who worked how much since then.
• Tracked to the minute: Overtime is documented exactly instead of estimated.
• Free to choose: Comp time or payout – employees decide for themselves.
• Direct payroll export: The Excel report feeds straight into the monthly payroll run.
“Overtime is tracked to the minute and can be taken off again as comp time in just the same way.”
— Inga Bernsau, Owner of Medienhaus Wilhelmshaven

From Excel export straight to the tax advisor
Once a month the figures have to go out – without anything having to be gathered together first. The reports needed can be passed on directly out of clockin.
• Ready-made Excel report: The tables for the monthly handover are ready to use straight away.
• No manual collecting: Figures no longer have to be merged from different sources.
• Always up to date: The report can be pulled again at any time, with no delay.
“Those Excel tables that get generated are just spot on. Very simple.”
— Inga Bernsau, Owner of Medienhaus Wilhelmshaven
