FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does time tracking work at changing locations?

With clockin your employees clock in on site via the app or a QR code. Every location can be set up as its own project – so hours stay clearly assigned, no matter how often the location changes.

Can breaks and standby duty be recorded as well?

Yes. You record breaks, standby duty and set-up time with one tap in the app – for a complete picture of working hours, including the relevant premium pay.

Our documentation still runs on paper – can we keep patrol records digitally?

Yes. clockin replaces the paper patrol log and paper forms with digital checklists, photos and notes. Patrols, incidents and handovers land directly in the app – traceable and available at any time.

How do I prove to my clients that a site was reliably guarded?

Every patrol is documented in clockin with the time, the location and, if you want, a photo. You can pass this complete documentation straight on to your client as proof – with no handwritten patrol log.

Can I record several shifts or time blocks per day?

Yes, clockin supports any number of time blocks per day – ideal for duties with interruptions, split shifts or unplanned extra assignments.

How does clockin help with night shifts and night premiums?

clockin records exactly when your employees worked during night hours and prepares those hours for payroll – as the basis for the statutory premium under Section 6 (5) of the German Working Hours Act.

Can we manage several guarded sites at the same time?

Yes. You set up every guarded site as its own project and see in real time which employee is working where – no matter how many sites your business looks after at once.
