CAIROS

Working time, projects and processes. Recorded as they happen.

Cairos records working time the way EU, German and Austrian law requires, brings projects and inventory together and automates what repeats – one platform instead of five disconnected tools.

One platform for the whole working day

From the first clock-in in the morning to the report for payroll: Cairos connects what otherwise lives in spreadsheets, paper lists and single-purpose tools.

Working time recording with employee self service

Employees clock in with one tap, request leave and see their own time account. HR gets verified monthly reports instead of timesheets.

  • Clock in via browser, phone or QR code
  • Break and rest period checks
  • Leave and absence requests

Projects, tasks, cost centres and teams

Plan work where it is also recorded. Every booked minute lands on the right project and the right cost centre – no double entry.

Time tracking that stands up to the rules

Since the CJEU ruling C-55/18, employers in the EU must record daily working time in an objective, reliable and accessible way. Cairos covers these obligations for Germany and Austria.

European Union
Objective, reliable and accessible recording of start, end and duration of daily working time under CJEU C-55/18 and the Working Time Directive 2003/88/EC.
Germany
Recording obligation under Federal Labour Court decision 1 ABR 22/21, rest breaks and maximum hours under the Working Hours Act (ArbZG), records ready for inspections.
Austria
Working time records under § 26 AZG, rest periods under ARG, public holidays, flexitime and all-in models – traceable for the labour inspectorate and payroll.

Cairos supports you in meeting your legal obligations. Responsibility for implementation within the company remains with the employer.

Fits into your existing environment

Cairos does not replace your ERP – it closes the gaps in between. Data flows back and forth through interfaces, while processes and approvals are managed centrally in one place.

Frequently asked questions

Who is Cairos for?

Small and medium-sized companies with people in the office, the workshop and the field – wherever working time, jobs and materials belong together.

Does Cairos meet the obligation to record working time?

Cairos records start, end and breaks of daily working time, checks rest periods and maximum hours and keeps every change traceable. This supports the requirements of CJEU C-55/18 and German and Austrian working time law.

Where is our data stored?

Cairos runs in data centres in Germany. Every workspace is separated from other customers, and sign-in goes through a dedicated identity service.

Can we connect Cairos to our ERP or payroll?

Yes. Cairos offers a REST API and existing integrations, for example with Microsoft Dynamics NAV. For payroll you export working times and absences.

Do our employees need to install an app?

No. Cairos runs in the browser on phones, tablets and desktops. Clocking in takes one tap or a QR code scan.
