Four steps. Everyone sees what is still missing.

Tax firm, employer and employees work on the same case, each with their own view.

  1. 1 Tax firm

    You invite your client.

    A link by email, no password. For every client you see how many people are complete.

    The firm's client list with progress per client, for example Bäckerei Krume GmbH with 8 of 12 complete and 4 open.
  2. 2 Employer

    The client invites new employees.

    By email, link or CSV list. The team list says for each person what is still missing.

    The employer's team list: Sofia Arslan awaits confirmation, Jonas Becker still lacks church tax, main or second job, children and six more details, Marie Lorenz was returned because of the IBAN.
  3. 3 Employees

    Employees fill in themselves.

    On a phone or a computer, no account, no app. Tax ID, social security number and IBAN are checked as they type.

    The tax step of the questionnaire: the tax ID entered is valid.
  4. 4 Employer and tax firm

    The employer confirms, you approve.

    With notes where something does not fit together. Return with a comment or approve.

    The firm's review: the personnel number is still missing for payroll, a plausibility note on the tax class, and the Return and Approve buttons.

In your employees' language.

The questionnaire speaks seven languages, Arabic from right to left. The firm and the employer still see the details in their own language.

  • English

Ready for your payroll software.

You export approved people together, for one client or several: as a file your payroll software reads in, with no retyping.

  • Import file
  • CSV
  • PDF per person
The export page: two clients with 13 approved people in total selected, and the Create export file button.

Changes after day one.

A new address, a new bank account, a leaver: employees and employers report changes the same way, with an effective date. The next export marks them.

Personnel data doesn't belong on a shared drive.

Tax IDs, social security numbers, IBANs and copies of ID documents are sensitive data. onbodi was built for them from the start.

  • Servers in Germany

    The application and all details are on servers in Germany, with no services outside the EU.

  • Encrypted one by one

    Tax ID, social security number, IBAN, residence permit, severe disability and uploaded proofs are additionally stored encrypted.

  • Two-factor sign-in

    For everyone at the firm. Clients sign in with a link by email, without a password.

  • Links that expire

    Every person gets their own random link. It expires and stops working as soon as a new one is made.

  • Everything in the audit log

    Every view of complete details, every approval, return and export is recorded.

  • No data in emails

    Emails from onbodi contain only a link, never a person's details.

Frequent questions

Does it only work on a phone?

No. The questionnaire runs in any current browser, on a phone, a tablet or a computer. Employers can send the link by email or pass it on themselves, for example by messenger.

Which questions are asked?

A complete onboarding questionnaire with its own questions for mini-jobs, working students and apprentices. Your firm decides which additional questions are asked, for all clients or per client.

How do the details get into our payroll software?

Through the export: as an import file for the payroll software, as CSV for Excel and any other software, and as a PDF per person. Which payroll software you use, we discuss in the demo.

Who sees the details?

The person, their employer and your firm. Each client sees only their own employees, and every view of complete details is in the audit log.

Is there a data processing agreement?

Yes. onbodi processes the details on behalf of your firm. We sign a data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR with every firm, listing the service providers for hosting and email, all in the EU.

Do clients or employees have to install anything?

No. onbodi runs in the browser. Employers sign in with a link by email; employees need no account at all.

What happens when something changes later?

Employees can ask for corrections and report later changes such as a new address or bank account with an effective date. Employers report leavers the same way.
