Stay compliant on working hours with just one employee — zero hassle
Even if you only have one member of staff, the law requires you to record their hours. Set it up in 2 minutes: your employee clocks in via WhatsApp and you have the reports ready if an inspector calls.

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
Excel and paper are about to become illegal
A new regulation being drafted requires digital, tamper-proof records with remote access for labor inspectors. Adapting is no longer optional.
Fines up to €10,000 per employee
Penalties are calculated per affected employee. A company with 20 employees could face €200,000 in fines.
