nordZEIT time recording with a time clock, weekly overview and overtime account

Everything for clean working hours. Nothing around it.

Time clock

Clock in, clock out, take a break — with one click in the browser, in the app or straight from the menu bar of the desktop app.

Automatic statutory breaks

Freely defined breaks per working time model — the statutory minimum break under § 4 of the German Working Hours Act is secured automatically.

Holiday & absences

Request holiday, sick leave and other absences — approved by the team or by management.

Overtime account

Extra and missing hours are tracked automatically — per person and visible at any time.

Reports & export

Reports with compliance notes on the German Working Hours Act (minimum break, maximum working time, rest period) — exportable as CSV and PDF.

Public holidays per federal state

Statutory public holidays are taken into account automatically for each federal state — with no manual upkeep.

Working time models

Full time, part time, individual weekly plans — target hours and break rules stored per model.

Mobile recording

Clock in from a phone — on the road, on site or working from home, with the same interface.

Webhooks to payroll

Clock events, absences and corrections go to your payroll or rota system as signed messages — immediately as they happen, retried automatically if the recipient cannot be reached.

The time clock is always with you.

Time recording happens where the work happens — that is why nordZEIT also runs as an app for iPhone and Android.

Frequently asked questions about nordZEIT

What does the app do?
The app is a digital time clock built around German working time law: your team clocks in, clocks out and takes breaks in the browser or on a phone, the automatic break rule secures the statutory minimum break, and reports, holiday and the overtime account come with it.
Does the app satisfy the duty to record working hours?
The European Court of Justice and the German Federal Labour Court require a system that records working hours objectively, reliably and accessibly. That is exactly what the app is built for: every entry is documented with a timestamp, and reports contain compliance notes on minimum breaks, maximum working time and rest periods. The software does not replace a legal assessment of your particular case — it is not legal advice.
Can staff clock in on the move?
Yes. Clocking works in the browser, in the iPhone and Android app or straight from the menu bar of the desktop app — today's working time runs there in real time.
Can the app be connected to payroll?
Yes. The app reports clock events, absences and approved corrections to your payroll, rota or automation system through a webhook, immediately. Every message is signed so the recipient can verify it, and is retried automatically if something goes wrong. Reasons and supporting evidence are deliberately not transmitted.
What does the app cost?
The app costs a fixed licence per user and month — the current price is shown live from the catalogue on this page. Billed monthly, with no advance payment. All prices are net, plus statutory VAT.
