FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does time tracking with GPS tracking work?

The German Occupational Safety Act sets narrow limits on determining employees' locations. In particular, employees should not feel under pressure or subject to permanent monitoring. clockin therefore does not track employees permanently. You are free to decide whether or not to use the GPS feature, in agreement with your employees and works council.

Technically, a GPS point can be recorded whenever an employee or a crew switches activity. Trips in a company vehicle are different: because this is expensive company property, in certain cases it may be possible to record the location at shorter intervals.

Important legal note: clockin does not provide legal advice here. The information provided is not binding and can vary from company to company and from country to country. We therefore expressly recommend having the use of clockin, and the extent of that use, reviewed by a qualified lawyer.

Our crews change job site constantly – how do I keep track?

With clockin you see live who is working where and when – whether it is your own team or subcontractors. Every entry is assigned to the matching project, completely automatically.

How do my people document additional services or unexpected waiting time?

Simply in the app: take a photo, write a short note – done. clockin saves everything in the project. That way you can prove afterwards why a job took longer.

We have no time for training – how quickly can my team get going?

The app is built so that anyone understands it without explanation. A few minutes are usually enough and it runs – perfect for the construction industry.

How do I convince employees who are not tech-savvy to use clockin?

clockin was deliberately developed and tested together with tradespeople and other practitioners who do not use a smartphone in their day-to-day work. Our experience shows that because our app needs no training and is intuitive to operate, using it causes no problems even for employees who are not tech-savvy.

Does clockin meet the requirements of the new obligation to record working hours?

Yes. With clockin, working hours are recorded in line with the ECJ ruling and the German Federal Labour Court decision of September 2022. At the same time, employee self-service in clockin gives employees transparent access to their working hours.

Can I manage my employees' vacation and absences with clockin as well?

Yes, with clockin you manage vacation, sickness and other absences directly in the app. Your employees submit requests themselves and you approve them in the dashboard – with no paperwork chaos in the office.

Can I record travel time between job sites with clockin too?

Yes, with clockin you record travel time between your job sites as its own time type. That way you see exactly how much time your team spends in the vehicle and how much on the job site – important for correct billing.
