FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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

Is clockin suitable for small production businesses too?

Absolutely. The solution is quick to set up, easy to understand and scalable – from a small business with a few employees to a larger production operation.

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

clockin was deliberately developed and tested together with tradespeople and other hands-on workers who don't use a smartphone at work. Because the app needs no training and is intuitive to operate, it causes no problems even for employees who are not tech-savvy.

How quickly can employees start using clockin without training?

Very quickly. The app is intuitive – a short introduction is usually enough. Ideal for production environments where there is no time for long training sessions.

Can breaks and machine downtime be documented as well?

Yes. Breaks are recorded in line with the law, automatically if you want. Downtime or special incidents can be documented easily with the notes function.

How do employees record their hours if they do not have their own smartphones?

clockin also works on fixed devices or shared tablets. Employees simply clock in and out by QR code – quick and with no effort.

Does every one of my employees need a smartphone for time tracking?

No. With the crew function one device per team is enough. The person in charge can record the hours for the whole team on it.
