An end to Excel lists and manual collation
For the month end, for keeping projects in check or for answering your team, you need quick answers, not hours of Excel work.
- Problem
Excel chaos at the month end
Holiday days, sick days, overtime: all collected by hand from different lists. Every single time.
- Problem
No overview of projects
How much time went into which project? Are we within budget? Without a report there are no answers.
- Problem
People ask about their time account
How much overtime do I have? What is my balance? Every question means recalculating by hand.

Every report that matters, in one place
Three report categories cover the most common needs, without unnecessary complexity.
- Absences
Holiday and sickness reports
For accounting and the month end
Every absence by person, department or period. With holiday days, sick days and special leave. Including a detail view per person.
- Projects
Project time reports
Budget control and how the work is distributed
Hours recorded per project, how the work is distributed (frontend, backend, design and so on), budget monitoring with a traffic light (on plan, at risk, over budget).
- Time accounts
Employee time accounts
Overtime and time off in lieu, in the open
Target against actual, how overtime develops, a calendar view with working days and absences. People can see their own figures at any time.
- Templates
Build your own report and reuse it
Save the filters you set once and call them up next time
Period, person, department, client, project, service, billable flag and calculation method can be combined into a template, saved under a name and shared with others. The second time round, the month end is one click instead of a fresh assembly.
- Filters
Flexible period filters
From a month to a year, whatever you need
Month, quarter, half year, year or a custom range. With forward and back navigation and an offset ("last year", for example).
- Export
Export in several formats
CSV, or Excel with metadata
CSV for quick further processing. Excel with a header (who exported, when, which period), ready for payroll.
- Calculation
Calculations that follow the ArbZG
ArbZG compliant, with breaks deducted
Breaks deducted automatically under the Working Hours Act. Public holidays and working time models taken into account.
- Visualisation
Charts and overviews
Understand the figures instead of staring at them
Pie charts for the distribution of work, progress bars for budget monitoring. All of it responsive and printable.
- Access

Send us a messageWhich report categories are there?
Three categories: 1) absence and sickness reports (for accounting), 2) project reports (budget, distribution of work), 3) time accounts (overtime, target against actual per person).
Can I export reports to Excel?
Yes, every report can be exported as Excel (XLSX) or CSV. Excel exports carry metadata (who, when, which period) for complete documentation.
How does budget monitoring work on projects?
MetronHR shows the budget status as a traffic light: green = under 80% used (on plan), amber = 80 to 100% (at risk), red = over 100% (over budget). Including a chart of how the work is distributed.
Can people see their own time accounts?
Yes, everyone has access to their own time account with target against actual, overtime and a calendar view. Team leads see their team, management sees everyone.
Are the calculations made under the Working Hours Act?
Yes, every calculation takes account of the break rules under the German Working Hours Act (ArbZG), public holidays and working time models.
How quickly are reports available?
Reports load at once. Exports (CSV or Excel) are ready in a few seconds, even with 100 people and a full year of data.
Are the reports included in every plan?
The reports belong to every plan: time account, project reports and payroll, each with Excel and CSV export. The analytics module with its four reporting axes, the drill-down to the single entry and the saved filter templates belongs to the Professional plan.
