Services · Rekana Zeit

Track working time by phone

Rekana Zeit is time tracking for your employees. They clock in on their phones, and you review and approve the month in the client portal. If we run your payroll, we transfer the hours straight to payroll.

Rekana also has its own website, in German: rekana.de.

For your employees

Clocking in by phone

  • Clock in, start a break or travel time, and clock out with one tap
  • Their own month with all times and totals
  • Forgotten times added as an adjustment with a reason
  • Phone set up with a code or QR code, no email address needed
  • As an app on the home screen, no app store
  • In 20 languages, each employee chooses their own

For you as the employer

Review and approve in the client portal

  • See at a glance who is working, on a break, or traveling
  • Approve adjustments, or deny or edit them with a reason
  • Times and activity log for each employee
  • Approve the month, then the combined PDF is ready as your payroll record
  • Switch time tracking on or off for each employee

Process

From clocking in to payroll

  1. Activation and setup

    We activate Rekana Zeit for your business. You switch it on for your employees and set up their phones with a code or QR code.

  2. Clocking in and adjustments

    Your employees clock in every day. If a time is missing, they add it as an adjustment with a reason.

  3. Review and approval

    You review the adjustments and approve the month. The combined PDF for the month is then your payroll record.

  4. Payroll by GKM

    If we run your payroll, the hours count as reported once you approve them, and we transfer them to payroll.

For mini-jobs and certain industries, § 17 MiLoG requires the start, end, and duration of daily working time to be recorded within seven days and kept for at least two years.

Traceable

Nothing is overwritten

A log of every change

Every entry, adjustment, and change is recorded in the log with the old and new value, the person, and the time.

Protection against changes

Saved times are never overwritten or deleted, not even by GKM. Approved months are locked.

Maximum duration

If someone is still clocked in after the maximum duration, Rekana Zeit closes their working time without an end time. You set the maximum, 12 hours by default. Rekana Zeit never sets an end time on its own; the employee adds it as an adjustment.

Works without a connection

Without a connection, the entry stays on the phone and is sent as soon as the phone is back online. It is then marked as clocked offline.

Activation

Activated by GKM

We activate Rekana Zeit for each client individually. You then decide in the client portal which employees clock in.

Your employees do not need an email address or an account. They set up their phone with the code you create in the client portal.

Price

€1per employee per month, net

The first 3 months are free. With payroll by GKM, Rekana Zeit comes at no extra charge. Online booking is coming soon; until then, request Rekana Zeit from us, and we will get back to you and activate it.
