Facts
For small and mid-sized companies
For every workplace in your business.
On the shop floor, in the workshop, in the warehouse and in the office: people clock in at the iPad by the entrance, in the app or in the browser.
Three ways to clock in
Clock in where the work happens.
iPad kiosk
At the entrance: sign in with a PIN or a QR code.
Web clock
For everyone without a company phone: in the browser.
In German and English.
The law
Built for the duty to record working time.
Since the Federal Labour Court's decision of 13 September 2022 (1 ABR 22/21), employers must introduce a system that records working time. The European Court of Justice requires an “objective, reliable and accessible system” (C-55/18).
Recorded at clock-in
Arrivals, departures and breaks are recorded at clock-in, on app, kiosk or web.
Nothing gets lost
Stamps recorded offline are not lost. A signed PDF every month.
Everyone sees their hours
Everyone sees their own hours and downloads their own monthly PDF.
