Statutory working time & rest
The overtime cap is configured by day, and rest periods enter the calculation. The eleven-hour rule flags a conflict.
Compliance
Automation designed for French labour law
Companies outside France can use Ticksy. Its regulatory automation is designed for French labour law, so its suitability for the rules applicable to your teams must be checked before use. This page details the calculations, the GDPR documents provided and what remains your responsibility.
Labour law, applied to the calculation
These rules are not options to tick: they are in the engine.
Overtime
Five calculation modes, chosen by the company according to its collective agreement: daily, double daily, weekly, rest day, public holiday.
Paid leave
Accrual follows the April 2024 reform and its three rates — full, reduced, zero — including during sick leave.
Public holidays
Calendars load by country and by year, are assigned to the employees concerned, and their days automatically drop out of the leave count.
Proof of time
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. Timestamped clocking and the audit log produce that proof.
GDPR & traceability
Consents managed by each employee, remotely revocable sessions, archiving rather than deletion, and an automatic daily purge of positions.
Who is responsible for what
The distinction governs your obligations, and it is not negotiable.
Your company is the data controller
It decides the purposes, the retention periods and the access rights. Its responsibilities include: informing employees beforehand, consulting the works council, carrying out the impact assessment and keeping the register.
Ticksy is the processor
It processes this data only on instruction, and for no purpose of its own : no analysis, no model training, no enrichment, no transfer. No analytics tool is installed.
The four documents provided for geolocation
An information notice for employees
To be given to each employee concerned, under Article 13 GDPR and article L1222-4 of the French code du travail.
An impact assessment template
The assessment required by Article 35, to be kept available for the CNIL. Pre-filled with what the product actually collects.
A register extract
To be carried into your record of processing activities, required by Article 30.
A processing annex
Ticksy's statement of what it processes on your behalf, to be attached to the contract required by Article 28.3. It is handed over as it stands.
Employee location
The most sensitive feature in the product, and the one with the strictest framing.
Nothing is active on installation: location features stay off without an explicit company decision, and the two most intrusive ones — automatic clocking by zone and live tracking — additionally require the employee's consent. One exception: clocking from the app records a position if the browser has already granted permission, without ever requesting it itself. The tablet terminal records no location at all.
Its only purpose is to evidence that work actually took place on a site: to bill for a job, to answer a dispute. Location is never used to count working time: the timestamp on the clock-in is enough. The Cour de cassation holds that such a use is lawful only where no other means exists — and that other means is the clock-in itself.
Live tracking is the exception: it serves neither to evidence work on a site, nor anything other than the safety and coordination of mobile teams.
Ticksy is a compliance aid: it applies the rules and produces the proof, it does not replace your legal counsel or your accountant. Our privacy policy
