Scattered data
Excel, clocking machines and inboxes do not talk to each other: re-entry, errors, hours you cannot rely on for payroll.

The problem
Working time no longer fits in a spreadsheet
Between one Excel file for hours, another for leave, an ageing clocking machine and requests by email, working time tracking falls apart. Manual entries pile up, hours go missing, and payroll becomes a risky exercise. Since the April 2024 reform of paid leave (congés payés), spreadsheets can no longer keep up.
Paid leave has become unreadable
Accrual during sick leave, full, reduced or zero rate: a calculation spreadsheets do not handle.
Legal exposure
Statutory working time exceeded, rest periods not respected, overtime not counted, no proof of working time.
Payroll eats your time
Re-keying hours and absences into the payroll software, a source of errors and disputes.
No real-time visibility
No way to know who is working, who is on leave, who is working remotely — least of all across sites.
Vague leave approval
Requests by email, approximate balances, overlaps and public holidays wrongly counted.
French labour law
Automation designed for French labour law
Ticksy does more than record hours. French regulation is built into the heart of the product: statutory working time (durée légale), rest periods, overtime, paid leave and public holidays are calculated automatically and traced, for payroll as much as for an inspection.
Module 01● ACTIVE
Proof of working time
Real-time timestamped clocking and auditable manual entry: reliable proof of working time, meeting the employer's obligation to account for the hours worked.
Module 02REST.SYS
Statutory working time & rest
Configurable hour caps by day, week and month, mandatory breaks and rest periods taken into account to keep within the legal limits (35h, 11h daily rest, weekly rest).
Module 03OT.CALC
Overtime
Five automatic calculation modes (daily, double daily, weekly, rest day, public holiday) for a faithful count that can be uplifted, ready for payroll.
Module 04
Paid leave (April 2024 reform)
Accrual engine aligned with the reform, with three rates (full, reduced, zero) including during absences, balances per period, capped and expiring carry-over, automatic exclusion of public holidays and non-working days.

Time tracking, timesheets, leave and schedules in one platform
Clocking, leave, schedules and teams: your everyday essentials, together in one tool.
Field clocking
Your teams are on site, not at a desk
Four ways to clock in away from the office, from a shared terminal to tracking mobile teams. Location serves to evidence that work actually took place on a site — to bill for a job, to answer a dispute. It is never used to count working time: the timestamp on the clock-in is enough.
One clock-in, two pieces of information
Illustrative exampleWork site
On-site presence
Clock-in recorded
Arrival on site
Site QR code scan
One-time location
To substantiate the intervention on site.
Clock-in timestamp
The arrival time, recorded in Ticksy.
Tablet terminal
No location is recorded.
A tablet fixed by the entrance, with an optional code per employee. Clocking works without a single item of location data.
QR poster per site
A single position, compared against the site perimeter.
One poster per site. Clocking evidences presence on the spot, recording nothing between two visits.
Automatic clocking by zone
Position monitored in the background.
Off by default. Requires both a company setting and the employee's consent.
Live tracking
Position at regular intervals, only while a shift is active.
Off by default. Requires both a company setting and the employee's consent. For the safety and coordination of mobile teams.
What frames the collection
A competitor who geolocates without handing you your compliance documents leaves you in breach. The employer remains the data controller: it is for them to inform their employees and to consult their works council.
Nothing is active on installation
The four modes above stay off without an explicit company decision. One exception: clocking from the app records a position if the browser has already granted permission, without ever requesting it.
Configurable retention
Choose a retention threshold of 30, 60 or 90 days for clock-in positions, and 12, 24 or 48 hours for movement traces. Data past this threshold is erased on the next daily purge run. Erasure of clock-in coordinates is timestamped.
No biometric data
Terminal codes are hashed, never kept in the clear, with lockout after three attempts. The product has no facial recognition feature.
Your GDPR documents provided
Employee information notice, impact assessment template, register extract and processing annex — pre-filled from how the product actually works.
Proof & inspection
On inspection day, you open Ticksy
The employer must account for working time through an objective, reliable and accessible system — articles L3171-2 and D3171-8 of the French code du travail, reinforced by the Court of Justice of the European Union on 14 May 2019. A spreadsheet is none of those: it is rewritten without leaving a trace.
Audit log
01Clock-ins, timesheets, leave, project updates: these actions are logged — who, what, when, from which address. The CSV export stops at 10,000 rows.
Period approval
02An approved period freezes the decision: it cannot be approved twice by mistake. A rejection carries its reason, notified to the employee, and reopening remains possible — but it shows.
Weekly acknowledgement
03The employee signs off on their week. You are no longer defending a count they would discover at the moment of a dispute.
Archiving of deletions
04Deleting an entry — even partly — sends it to the archive with its original values, never into thin air. Correcting one updates it directly: it is the new value that counts, not the old one.
Ticksy is a compliance aid: it produces and keeps the proof, it does not replace your legal counsel or your accountant. Our compliance commitments
Profitability
Knowing which projects actually make you money
The time your teams clock is not only for payroll. Set against what you invoice, it answers the question a spreadsheet always leaves hanging: that one, what did it actually earn you?
A profit and loss account for every project
Hours spent, billable amount, labour cost: the reconciliation happens on its own, by project, by client or by member.
- Analysis by project, by client and by member
- Cost calculated at each person's rate
- CSV export
A fixed fee judged on its hours
A fixed-fee project is sold for an amount but paid for in hours. Ticksy divides one by the other and gives you the effective hourly rate — the only figure that tells you whether the sale was a good one.
- Fixed-fee and Time & materials projects
- Effective hourly rate of a fixed fee
- Rate history: an old calculation stays correct
Every project carries a threshold of estimated hours. Its state — within budget, close, exceeded — reads as soon as you open the project, before delivery rather than after.
From the observed pace, Ticksy estimates where the project will land. The next quote is priced on what actually happened.
