Why traditional systems do not work
One employee still means legal obligations
Employment law has no minimum headcount. A single employment contract creates the obligation to keep daily working time records.
Most solutions are built for larger businesses
HR suites at €50–100/month with dozens of features you will never use. Clockin.chat does exactly what you need and nothing more.
Inspectors do not differentiate by company size
A sole trader with one employee can be fined just as heavily as a medium-sized company. The risk is real and fines can exceed €6,000.

I have a shop and one assistant. I needed something legal that would not take up my time. I set up Clockin.chat one afternoon and I have not had to think about time tracking since.— Javier S., photography shop owner, Bilbao

Penalties are calculated per affected employee. A company with 20 employees could face €200,000 in fines.
