TimeTK is a time tracking, absence, and payroll preparation tool for European small and medium-sized businesses, emphasizing minute-level auditability and EU hosting. It is positioned to connect time tracking, scheduling, absence, approvals, and reporting in one clear workflow, helping employees gain clarity, managers gain visibility, and administrators stop chasing missing information.
In terms of purpose, TimeTK is used to record and manage working time data, turning operational friction caused by lateness, missing records, unclear shifts, and manual corrections into data that can be used for decisions on staffing, capacity, overtime, and operational efficiency.
Key capabilities include: employees can clock in via mobile phone, tablet, or shared wall terminal and receive instant confirmation; location capture at clock-in is optional and off by default; working hours, breaks, and balances are calculated automatically. The scheduling module supports building weekly shifts, conflict detection across teams and locations, shift changes require manager approval, and approved leave is directly visible in the plan. The absence and leave module centralizes requests, balances, and approvals, and shows team coverage before approval. The overtime management module updates balances as events occur, warns of thresholds in advance, and compensates according to user-defined working time rules. The reporting and payroll export module can close a period as an immutable snapshot, then export from that snapshot rather than from data that has changed, supporting BMD-style, DATEV-style, CSV, Excel, and API exports.
In terms of usage, employees clock in from any mobile browser or shared kiosk, view schedules, request leave, and track balances. Roles and permissions let employees, team leads, HR, and payroll staff each get what they need. The design is auditable: clock events and audit entries are append-only, corrections supersede the original record rather than overwrite it, preserving the full history.
The applicable scenarios are European small and medium-sized businesses, especially organizations that need precise time tracking, payroll preparation, and compliance auditing. In terms of pricing, the time tracking core is EUR 4 per active employee per month; scheduling, project time allocation, payroll export, and AI Q&A modules are enabled as needed. Enabling all modules is EUR 10 per employee per month; annual payment includes two months free, with a minimum of five people, and no credit card is required for the trial. Language support includes German, English, Spanish, and Portuguese, configurable by organization or user.
