Yes. ZEP documents a bidirectional Personio integration for time bookings, absences, and employee master data, but the exact direction and scope depend on the product line and modules. Importing time bookings from Personio into ZEP is limited to ZEP Clock, and absence synchronization requires the Absences & Overtime module.
Yes, but project time requires ZEP Compact or ZEP Professional. ZEP Clock records working time without projects, while Compact and Professional let employees book time to projects, tasks, and activities and can also record attendance when administrators enable it.
Yes. ZEP Clock has its own iOS and Android app, while ZEP Compact and ZEP Professional use the ZEP App for working time, project time, and module-dependent items such as absences or receipts. ZEP also documents browser-based recording and supported stationary terminal options for teams that need on-site clock-in and clock-out.
Yes, through the Absences & Overtime module. Employees can request absences and view balances, while authorized managers can review requests and administrators can configure absence reasons, overtime rules, holiday settings, reports, and month-end closing.
Yes. ZEP documents Excel or CSV export for working-time and project-time data, subject to the user's assigned import and export rights. Many reports can also be generated in formats such as Excel, PDF, Word, or CSV and scheduled as recurring background tasks where the report supports it.
Yes, when the required product line and invoicing setup are in place. Project management is included in ZEP Compact and ZEP Professional, but ZEP's Invoicing module is available only with ZEP Professional. Billable projects also need the relevant customer, billing method, pricing basis, and approved billable time.
ZEP Clock is the attendance-focused option for working-time recording without project bookings. ZEP Compact adds project time, project management, and project controlling, while ZEP Professional extends that scope with functions such as project planning, hourly and daily rates, travel expenses, revenue and cost analysis, and optional invoicing.
Yes. ZEP documents named integrations including Jira and Personio as well as optional REST and SOAP interfaces for custom integrations. Availability varies by connector and product line, and setup commonly requires administrator rights, a licensed interface or marketplace module, and credentials or technical resources for the connected system.
Administrators should first choose the ZEP product line, required modules, employee defaults, working-time rules, and the recording methods different employee groups will use. ZEP's setup guidance also covers company settings, permissions, projects where applicable, mobile or terminal use, and administrator-only configuration for integrations.
