Control & Compliance

Audit-ready by default.

Every shift recorded electronically, every change logged, every record exportable — the way the EU Court and Germany's labour courts require, and what becomes mandatory in 2026. So your next audit isn't a project.

Minimum-Wage Records

Start, end and duration for every part-time/minijob worker — captured automatically and kept the legally required way. Export everything in one click for the next Zoll (FKS) inspection.

Breaks & Maximum Hours

Breaks, the 10-hour daily limit and rest periods are documented automatically — and you're warned before you breach the Arbeitszeitgesetz.

Complete Audit Log

Every shift edit, every approval — timestamped, tamper-proof and exportable. Built for audits by the Zoll, pension insurance or tax authorities.

Pricing

Everything your team needs. Simple pricing.

Compliance features are free for everyone. Upgrade to PRO for notifications, payroll, and smarter scheduling.

Common questions

What people ask before signing up.

What is kardia?

kardia is web-based shift planning and time tracking software for small teams. Managers use it to build shift schedules and track employee hours. Employees use it to clock in and out, view their schedule, and request time corrections.

Who is kardia for?

kardia is designed for small businesses, medical practices, retail shops, hospitality teams, and service businesses with 2–50 employees — especially those that currently manage shifts and time in spreadsheets or paper.

How does time tracking work?

Employees open the app and tap to start their shift. They can pause for breaks and stop when they're done. Break duration rules (such as German Arbeitszeitgesetz requirements) are enforced automatically. Admins and managers see all entries in real time.

Can I plan shifts in advance?

Yes. Managers create shift slots, assign team members, and publish the plan. Employees see their upcoming shifts immediately. Shift templates make recurring schedules faster to build each week.

How do I export hours for payroll?

Go to the Export section, select a month, and download a CSV with all tracked hours per employee. The file is ready for most payroll tools and accountants.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. kardia has a permanent FREE plan for up to 10 team members and 1 location — no credit card needed, no time limit. When you outgrow it, PRO is €29/month — or €19/month when paid yearly (both excl. VAT) — and supports up to 100 members and 10 locations. For larger organisations, the Enterprise plan offers unlimited members, locations, and dedicated support.

Can my team clock in without installing an app?

Yes. Place a QR code or NFC tag at the entrance and your team taps once to start tracking — no app install, no login, no password. The kiosk works on any phone with a camera or NFC reader, and shifts attach to the right employee automatically.

Does kardia work for teams across multiple locations?

Yes. The PRO plan supports up to 10 locations and the Enterprise plan supports unlimited locations. Managers see a real-time view of who is working where, and employees can be assigned to one or several sites. Shift plans, payroll exports and audit logs all stay scoped per location.

How is kardia priced — per user or flat?

kardia PRO is a flat €29 per month for the whole company — or €19 per month when paid yearly (both excl. VAT) — not per user. Whether you have 5 or 100 employees the price stays the same. The FREE plan covers up to 10 people at €0, and Enterprise pricing is custom for unlimited scale.

Is kardia compliant with the German Arbeitszeitgesetz (ArbZG)?

Yes. Break duration, daily and weekly hour limits, and the 11-hour rest period required by the German Arbeitszeitgesetz are enforced automatically on every plan — including FREE. Every shift edit and approval is captured in an audit log, so disputes and inspections are straightforward to handle.
