FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does clockin work on the job site or at a customer's premises?

Employees simply clock in via the app or a QR code – right at the job site. The time runs automatically and is assigned to the right project.

Do my people need their own smartphone for this?

No. You can use a shared company phone or let employees access clockin on their own devices – whatever works for you.

Can I manage absences and sick leave notifications digitally too?

Yes. Sick leave notifications or vacation requests arrive digitally straight away, with no paper and no call to the office. You see at a glance who is available and can reschedule jobs accordingly.

Can travel time and breaks be recorded as well?

Yes. Employees can record travel time, working hours and breaks separately – for full transparency in billing and costing.

Are there AI features for trades businesses?

Yes. With the phone assistant, the call notes and the video documentation, clockin offers AI features made specifically for trades businesses – they take calls, write conversations down and document work automatically. You can find out more on our page about trades software with AI.

Does clockin meet the statutory obligation to record working hours?

Yes. With clockin, working hours are recorded in line with the ECJ ruling and the decision of the German Federal Labour Court (BAG). Through employee self-service your people also have transparent access to their working hours at any time.

How do I keep track when several jobs are running at the same time?

Every job site or job gets its own time account. You see live how many hours go to which project – without asking the team on site.

What does clockin cost for my trades business?

The cost depends on the number of your employees and the features you want. The best approach is to try clockin free for 14 days and see for yourself which plan suits your business.
