You can also jump between all the different parts of the wizard. You can always click the Help -button, when you want in depth instructions for a particular screen.

In the Basic information wizard you can add your company's basic information such as the company name and contact information. In addition you can set some salary calculation settings and add the company logo. The logo will be visible in the top-left corner of Tuntinetti.


Unit Wizard

In unit wizard you can determine your company's structure. In Tuntinetti the company consists of units, which can represent for example your company's headquarters and their departments. Units may be structured in the hierarchy that makes sense from your company's point of view.

Organizing units

Creating a new project

In the following section we'll create a new project and look at the available project settings. We'll also show how you can add customers, employees and tasks to a project.


You can create new projects in the Projects tab.

Work shift cycles

A work shift cycle must have a Valid from-date and a Start date. The length of the cycle should be entered if it is not defined in the labour agreement.

The default length for the workshift cycle is set by labour agreement. Typically, the length on the labour agreement level is 1, 2 or 3 weeks. When you need to set workshift cycles that differ from those set in labour agreement, the length of the cycle is set in: the company's basic information for company level, the unit settings for unit level and in employee's contract settings for employee level. Settings are inherited from the unit's settings to unit's employees, either on the grounds that the employee is positioned to the unit in question or that the unit has been selected in the "Work time cycle group" in the additional settings of the employee's contract.

Work shift cycle's information

Let's go through how you can modify a cycle.


Enter the Valid from-date.

Enter the Start date.

Creating an overtime assignment

Introduction of overtime assignments

In Tuntinetti, overtime isn't recorded separately, but the program analyzes them automatically when overtime assignment is in effect. In order for the program to itemize overtime hours, the employee must have at that time a valid overtime assignment and contract.

In Tuntinetti, the overtime assignments are normally given one by one and case by case. But if it is necessary to have all the employee's hours itemized into payroll work time report according to the valid labour agreement, it is possible to set the overtime assignment (itemized list of work time compensations) to be always valid. These default overtime settings can be set for units, projects and employees.

  1. Unit level is on the bottom.
  2. Project level is over unit-stage but under employee-stage. This might be the reason why a change to the unit-stage's overtime assignment hasn't affected the calculation.
  3. Employee level is on the top, and overrides the project- and unit levels.

Adding an overtime assignment on the unit level

Adding an overtime assignment on the unit level takes place in the Units-tab.
