FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which time tracking system suits agricultural businesses best?

Agricultural businesses need time tracking that also works under difficult conditions: changing locations, poor internet connections and seasonal staff who come and go. What matters is mobile recording, offline capability and simple operation. With clockin you record working hours via app, QR code or terminal – even without an internet connection.

How do I record working hours in the field without Wi-Fi or cell signal?

Many time tracking apps require a stable internet connection – in agriculture that is not always available. With clockin you store working hours offline directly on the device; they sync automatically as soon as there is signal again.

What do I need to keep in mind when recording seasonal workers' hours?

Seasonal staff often work at short notice, with language barriers and at changing locations. With clockin, harvest helpers record their hours by QR code check-in or in the app – with no lengthy briefing, and you still get clean documentation.

I already use software for field records or herd management – do I still need clockin?

Field record and herd management software covers areas, crops and livestock – not your employees' working hours. With clockin your team records working hours, project hours and absences separately and in line with the law, independently of your specialist software.

Which time tracking features matter most for agricultural businesses?

For agricultural businesses, these matter most: mobile time tracking via app, offline use, QR code check-ins for harvest helpers, project-based time tracking by field or activity, integration with payroll and simple operation for seasonal staff. clockin covers all of these in one app.

How does clockin transfer recorded working hours to payroll?

Via the integrations with DATEV and Paychex you transfer recorded working hours and absences automatically into payroll – including night, Sunday and public holiday work. Once it is set up, there is no more manual data entry.

How quickly can I roll clockin out in my business?

With clockin you register within a few minutes, invite your team and get going right away. The app is intuitive, so even seasonal staff can start immediately without training.

Which legal requirements on recording working hours apply in agriculture?

The German Working Hours Act applies in agriculture too, including the obligation to record working hours. With clockin you document working hours, breaks and rest periods digitally and in line with the law – instead of on paper.
