Time tracking for education
teachers, support staff and monitors, without the hassle

Academies, nurseries, state-subsidised schools and training centres. At private and subsidised schools, teachers do clock in, and the working day is more than the classroom. PIN kiosk, app and zero biometrics.

Quick answer: a private or state-subsidised school brings together three distinct employment realities (teachers with teaching and non-teaching hours, support and admin staff, and after-school monitors on part-time contracts of just a few hours) and all three must record their working day. The typical mistake in the sector is twofold: believing that teachers do not clock in (false at private and subsidised schools) and recording only the class hours (the working day is more than the classroom).

The 4 challenges a school faces

Teachers, support and admin staff, and after-school monitors: three groups, three patterns and a single obligation to keep records that the Labour Inspectorate reviews with an appetite.

📚

Teaching and non-teaching hours

The teacher arrives at 8:45, teaches until 14:00 and on Thursdays has a staff meeting until 17:00. The record reflects the full contracted working day, with irregular scheduling, flexible rosters and automatic monthly totalling.

👥

Three groups, three patterns

Teachers (the school-year framework schedule), support and admin staff (continuous shift) and after-school monitors (part-time afternoon hours). One single system with distinct profiles and reports by group for the leadership team and the owner.

🔢

Clock in at the door without a bottleneck at 8:50

A PIN kiosk at reception or the staff room (one of the school's own tablets, included in every plan) plus an app for anyone who prefers their phone. Two seconds per person, no fingerprint and no queues.

🗓️

The school year

September hires, June departures, one-week cover. Set up in a minute, pay per active employee, the system breathes with the school calendar.

How Cleverfy works in a school

A compliant working-hours record, not a school management platform. Your student and grades software keeps doing its thing; the employment record does its own.

🔢

PIN kiosk

At reception or the staff room, included in every plan. Any of the school's tablets works, two seconds per person and zero biometrics.

📱

App and web

For after-school monitors who arrive at 16:00 and staff who rotate between sites. Clock in with two taps from a phone.

⏱️

Rosters by group

Teachers, support and admin staff, and monitors with irregular scheduling and automatic monthly totalling. Exact part-time hours, the shield against the presumption of full-time work.

📊

Reports by group and site

With a 4-year history and full traceability, exactly what the new Royal Decree will require and what inspections already ask for.

🤖

Official app in ChatGPT

Check your working-hours data and clock in from the chat itself, with controlled access. No other Spanish time-tracking tool has it.

🛡️

Serious GDPR and setup in 10 minutes

Zero biometrics, in keeping with an environment with minors, and configurable over a weekend before the school year starts.

The maths for a 12-person academy: €14.40/month on the annual plan. For a 45-person subsidised school (teachers, support staff and monitors): €54/month. The presumption of full-time work from a single poorly recorded monitor costs more than the whole system does over years.

Clock-in systems for a school, compared

·

Sign-in sheet at reception

Signed all at once on the way out, with no reliable time and a 4-year custody that is impossible

·

The leadership roster (Excel)

It is planning, not a record: with no real clock-ins or traceability it proves nothing

·

Fingerprint terminal

Restricted by the Spanish DPA, and in an environment with minors the last place to experiment with biometrics

·

School management platform

It handles students, grades and invoices: a compliant employment record is not its job

Cleverfy (PIN kiosk + app)

Two seconds at reception, profiles by group, a compliant and traceable record from €1.20/user

What the record must contain (and what the Inspectorate looks at)

In private and state-subsidised education, the Labour Inspectorate cross-checks two documents with particular appetite: the monitors\' part-time contracts against their real working hours, and the theoretical roster against the clock-ins. The subsidy does not protect a subsidised school: the owner is an employer like any other.

Employee identification

Teachers, support and admin staff, kitchen and monitors: all of the owner's employed personnel

Start and end of the working day

The full contracted working day, teaching and non-teaching

Irregular scheduling

The Thursday staff meeting until 17:00, reflected as it happens, not the theoretical template

Part-time contracts: daily accuracy

After-school monitors, the school's greatest financial risk

Cover and substitutions

Registered and recorded from day one, even if it is only 3 days

Site or centre

Each of the owner's sites must be able to answer separately

How to roll it out in 5 steps

1

Plan it around the school calendar

The perfect window is called September: profiles configured before the opening staff meeting, the system introduced on day one, and the whole year on record from minute one.

2

Define the three groups

Teachers (teaching and non-teaching hours with irregular scheduling), support and admin staff (continuous shift) and monitors (midday and afternoon part-timers). The system compares what was clocked against what was contracted, which is exactly what an inspector will do.

3

PIN kiosk at reception and the app

One of the school's tablets at reception or the staff room: two seconds per person, no queues at 8:50 and no biometrics. The app for monitors who arrive at 16:00 and staff who rotate between sites.

4

Bed it in during the first two weeks of term

The head's office or admin reviews missed clock-ins daily. Teachers see their hours in the app, and the transparency defuses the objection about surveillance before it reaches the staff meeting.

5

Term-time routine

Every month, a contract-versus-clock-in check across all part-timers, with event overtime compensated and documented. In June, end-of-year departures; in September, new hires in minutes.

CASE STUDY

State-subsidised school with 45 employees

The situation: a two-form-entry subsidised school with 28 teachers, 7 support and admin staff, and 10 canteen and after-school monitors on part-time contracts of 2 to 4 hours a day. A sign-in sheet at reception that is signed on the way in or whenever someone walks past, and monitors with no record because they are midday staff.

The risk: a canteen monitor on a 10 h/week contract has spent two years also running the play centre and morning drop-off, 19 real hours. She claims the difference and, as a bonus, the presumption under art. 12.4 over the entire contract. With 10 monitors in a similar situation, the repeatable pattern comfortably exceeds €40,000 in back pay and contributions, plus the fine, now per worker in the draft of the new Royal Decree.

The result with Cleverfy: €54/month on the annual plan. The first quarter of data makes it possible to regularise the part-timers with exact figures, the overtime from the Christmas festival is compensated in January in writing, and the Labour Inspectorate\'s visit in spring wraps up in a morning: a compliant record, part-timers balanced and full traceability.
