Time tracking

Legal clocking, alerts and accurate presence for every shift

In a pharmacy, every minute matters and every shift carries legal responsibilities. Plain records clock-ins, breaks and clock-outs with total precision, ready for any labour inspection.

Tablet at the counter, no installation required

Any tablet becomes a clock-in terminal. The employee records their clock-in with a personal PIN. The timestamp is legally sealed and cannot be edited afterwards.

  • PIN clock-in from tablet
  • Records clock-in, break and clock-out
  • Legally valid timestamp
  • Works offline and syncs when connection is restored

Frequently asked questions

How does Plain guarantee there is always a licensed pharmacist in every shift?

Plain automatically validates that every published shift has at least one licensed pharmacist present. If generating the schedule or approving an absence would leave a shift without a licensed pharmacist, Plain blocks the action and notifies the manager so they can propose an alternative before confirming.

Can I manage multiple pharmacies from a single account?

Yes. Plain lets you manage multiple locations from a single centralised dashboard. You can view coverage for each pharmacy, redistribute staff between sites and compare the status of all your pharmacies in real time.

How are overnight on-call supplements calculated?

Plain automatically applies the concepts from the pharmacy collective agreement: overnight on-call supplement, night supplement and holiday supplement according to the type of shift recorded. At month end, all variables are ready to export to the payroll software without any manual review.

Is Plain compatible with the pharmacy collective agreement?

Yes. Plain is fully compatible with the pharmacy collective agreement. It respects maximum working hours, mandatory rest periods, on-call duty calculations and the legally required working time record, avoiding fines and incidents with the Labour Inspectorate.
