Solution · knowledge and office work

Working time in order without a time clock.

Working time has to be tracked by law – but an expert shouldn’t have to fill in a blank timesheet every day. Kelomo proposes the standard day ready, the employee confirms the week in one go, and the flexitime balance stays up to date on its own.

The reality of knowledge work

Familiar stumbling blocks – and where they come from.

  • The days look alike The week is usually similar. Filling in the timesheet afterwards is needless work, and the first thing to be skipped when time is short.
  • The flexitime balance can’t be tracked by hand Flexitime, overtime and the working-time bank are nearly impossible to keep current in a spreadsheet – the figure only emerges once someone finds time to calculate it.
  • A time clock doesn’t fit this work In remote and hybrid work a clock feels like the wrong tool and says nothing about how much was actually done.

Kelomo turns it around: the standard day already exists when the employee opens their week.

What Kelomo does in knowledge work

The standard day ready

A frame from the working-time model or the calendar. The employee corrects only what changed and confirms.

The week in one go

An ordinary week is signed off with a single confirmation – only deviating days need attention.

The flexitime balance up to date

Flexitime (Working Hours Act § 12), the working-time bank and overtime update from confirmed data and show on mobile.

No time clock, no location tracking

Clock in/out is off or optional, and location is not tracked. Fits remote and hybrid work as is.

Hours on projects

Allocation to client and project with the same entry, when the project management add-on is in use.

Versioned working-time models

Updating the model does not change the calculation for past weeks – earlier periods stay put.

The employee view

The whole week at a glance.

The employee sees the week’s days, the up-to-date flexitime balance and the one day that has a deviation – without having to calculate anything.

FAQ

Knowledge work and Kelomo

01 Is this employee surveillance?

No. In knowledge work clocking is typically off or optional, and Kelomo does not track location. The length of the day can be brought from the calendar, but entry titles or content are not stored. The employee corrects their own entries.

02 Does it work for remote and hybrid work?

Yes. Confirmation is done on the web or mobile from anywhere, and no daily clocking is needed. The day is built from the working-time model or calendar regardless of where the work is done.

03 Does Kelomo force daily recording?

No. The standard day is ready, and the whole week can be confirmed in one go. Only deviating days need attention – an ordinary week is handled with a single sign-off.

04 How is the flexitime balance calculated?

Flexitime (Working Hours Act § 12) is calculated only from confirmed days within the statutory caps and shows for the employee on mobile. The working-time bank and overtime build on the same data – without separate tracking.

05 Is it only for salaried staff?

It is not limited to them. The day proposal, confirmation and balances work for both monthly- and hourly-paid; the working-time model defines what the standard day looks like.

06 Can hours be allocated to projects and clients?

Yes, when the project management add-on (€2/user/mo) is in use. Allocation is done with the same entry, and a separate timesheet is not needed.
