Referee Manager

How it works in the professional version:
1. Lineups are automatically recorded via the lineup SMS, and travel duration, kilometers, and total travel time are calculated.
2. A calendar entry is pre-created and saved to the calendar with one click.
3. Income is entered according to the lineup's league, and travel expenses and per diems or PRAE (whichever is cheaper) are automatically deducted.
4. An income and expenditure list of tax-relevant income (and all other match data such as SR, A1, A2, league, etc.) can be displayed and exported.

By adding mileage to the entries, the logbook is also digital and easy to maintain. Based on this, comparison calculations between actual car costs and mileage allowance can be displayed.

Seminars/group sessions/tests (including provided meals) and expenses for equipment/contributions, and other expenses can also be added to this income and expenditure list. This gives you an overview of whether you're above the tax threshold, and if so, a ready-made guide for completing your tax return.

To organize training sessions, you can define recurring group training sessions with a minimum attendance requirement. On these days, the app sends a notification whether you're attending training or not, or whether the training is taking place at all. A list of attended training sessions and the corresponding attendance can be displayed.

All entries can also be added manually, exported as a signed PDF or Excel file, and reimported.

Entries are recorded in compliance with tax office regulations, as they are promptly marked as completed with a cryptographic signature and cannot be edited afterward.

The free version is ideal for new and rarely used referees.
You can add youth games automatically and quickly like a pro!
You can also add entries manually, but you'll always have to manually enter the times, descriptions, mileage, travel time, income, and league.

Other restrictions:

- The calendar entry is not suggested.

- Training sessions cannot be added, and therefore training participation cannot be calculated.
- Mileage cannot be added for the detailed logbook.
- Comparison calculations for the car (actual costs vs. mileage allowance) are not available.
- Export to PDF or Excel is not possible.
- A calculated tax return completion aid and a comparison of flat-rate options are not included.
- When adding entries, you will see the benefits of a professional account for 15 seconds.
- In the free version, entries are only signed (and only count as verifiable records) if you link your Google Account to the app and thus create a free account. By doing so, you agree that I may contact you by email to ask which features you like and what you need to do to become a professional.
