Time & absence management for Swiss companies

Every hour, every absence, every Pensum – accounted for.

Apensum brings attendance, project time, absences and expenses together in one app and keeps vacation, overtime and Überzeit right, the way Swiss companies need it. Employees record, managers approve, HR keeps the overview.

Available in German, French, Italian and English.

26cantonal holiday calendars
4languages, chosen per person
AES-256encryption for every document
1inbox for every approval

One app instead of five spreadsheets

From the first check-in to the closed month: Apensum covers everything that happens between employees, managers and HR.

Attendance & schedules

Check in with one click. Each person’s daily target follows their own work schedule – part-time and irregular weeks included – minus holidays and absences.

Project time

Hours on projects, kept apart from attendance. Project owners approve each month, and a report PDF is filed automatically.

Absences

Vacation goes to the line manager for approval. Sickness and accident are recorded straight away, with the certificate attached.

Balances

Vacation prorated by Pensum and carried over; overtime and Überzeit kept as separate accounts, with alerts every month.

Expenses

Snap or drop the receipt into the form, collect expenses into reports and send them off for approval and payout.

Approvals

One inbox for everything. Each request reaches the person’s actual manager – and follows along when the reporting line changes.

Made for Switzerland
