Plain emails you when it detects a missed clock-in or an open shift — those forgotten check-ins that leave the counter running — so you can act before the problem escalates.
Plain automatically compares clocked hours against the scheduled rota. Detects deviations, unauthorised overtime and punctuality patterns without any manual review.

No copying data between systems, no transcription errors. Every month-end, the data is ready.
Connect Plain to the biometric and card readers already installed at your workplaces. Clock-ins recorded at the terminal appear in Plain automatically — no manual entry needed.

Features designed to meet legal requirements, analyse your team's hours and integrate everything without friction.
A time tracking app is a digital tool that records each employee's clock-in and clock-out times, calculates hours worked, and generates attendance reports. It replaces paper, spreadsheets, and traditional physical terminals. Employees clock in from their mobile phone, computer, or a shared terminal, and HR accesses the data in real time.
Yes. Following the 2019 European Court of Justice ruling, EU member states are required to implement systems for the objective, reliable and accessible recording of daily working time. Most countries now mandate that employers keep records of start and end times for each employee. Records must be retained for at least two years and made available to labour inspectors and employee representatives.
The law requires recording, at minimum, the start and end time of each employee's daily working hours. Recording breaks is not always mandatory, though many employers do so voluntarily. Records must reflect actual hours worked, not contracted hours, and must be accessible to labour authorities and employee representatives.
Current regulations focus on ensuring maximum working hours and minimum rest periods are respected. While precise break recording is not always mandatory, it is increasingly required in labour audits. If your system only captures start and end times, it is worth reviewing whether it meets your sector's requirements — especially as working time reform is progressing across Europe.
Yes. Plain automatically classifies overtime as standard, night, or bank holiday hours, and generates alerts when an employee accumulates unauthorised overtime. For location, the app records the employee's geolocation at the exact moment of clocking in — HR can verify that the clock-in occurred at the workplace or an authorised location.
In practice, the access channel. Time tracking software is usually used from a desktop computer or physical terminal. A time tracking app allows employees to clock in from their mobile phone, with geolocation and without needing to be at the workplace. For teams with remote work, rotating shifts, or staff in different locations, the app is the most practical option.
