Time tracking made for Educational institutions

Time tracking for teaching staff

At the push of a button – wherever you are

Teaching staff record their working time with one tap, whether at school, working from home or on the way to a training course. No paperwork chaos, no estimating after the fact.

  • One-tap time tracking in the app or the browser
  • Record breaks and travel time separately
  • Offline-capable, data syncs when there is a Wi-Fi connection

Time tracking for every role

Administration, caretakers and everyone else included

Not just teaching staff – the school office, cleaning staff and caretakers record their hours in the same app. On site at a tablet in the office or on the move on a smartphone, whichever fits.

  • A central tablet as the clocking device for all employees
  • Individual working time models per person
  • One system for every role in the building

You keep an overview of every absence in your institution – from the head teacher to casual staff. Requests arrive digitally and you approve them with a click.

  • Digital vacation requests and approval in the dashboard

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does the obligation to record working hours apply to schools and educational institutions too?

Yes – with no exception. In 2019 the European Court of Justice ruled that all EU employers must record their employees' working hours systematically. In September 2022 the German Federal Labour Court set this out in concrete terms for Germany: the obligation follows from Section 3 of the German Occupational Safety Act and applies across all sectors. The German Federal Ministry of Labour has expressly clarified that there are no exceptions for teaching staff.

For independent schools the same applies as for any other employer: they can and must act now. At state schools the decision lies with the individual federal state – some states such as Bremen are already running pilot projects. Providers who wait are taking a legal risk.

How do teaching staff record their working time when they also work from home?

clockin works in the app on a smartphone or in the browser – whether the teacher is at school, working from home or on the way to a training course. One tap to start, one tap to stop. Location makes no difference.

Can different working time models be mapped – part-time, full-time, mini-job?

Yes. In clockin you set the right working time model for every person – full-time, part-time, mini-job or floating cover. Overtime and absences are calculated automatically on the basis of that model.

How do teaching staff request vacation or report sick?

Directly in the clockin app: teaching staff submit vacation requests digitally and the school management approves them with one click in the dashboard. Sick leave notifications are recorded digitally too – no paperwork and no long email chains.

How much effort is it to introduce clockin in a school?

Very little. clockin is usually set up within a few hours. Employees need no technical knowledge – the app works on any smartphone. If you prefer, you can use the clockin setup service.

Can I hand the recorded hours over to DATEV?

Yes. clockin has a direct DATEV integration. You pass your employees' hours to your tax firm at the push of a button – with no manual entries and no exports by hand.

Does every teacher need their own smartphone?

No. You can also use clockin on a central device, for example a tablet in the staff room. Several people can clock in and out there. No separate SIM card is needed – the app works over Wi-Fi as well.

Where is the data stored – is clockin GDPR-compliant?

Yes. All data is stored on ISO-certified German servers. clockin is fully compliant with the GDPR and the ECJ ruling and was developed in Germany.
