Time Tracking Frankfurt – Record Assignments Digitally, Allocate Hours Accurately

Frankfurt is Germany's most vertical city – and one of the most demanding for businesses with mobile teams. Cleaning crews service office high-rises in the banking district and residential complexes in Sachsenhausen. Trade businesses travel from Höchst to Fechenheim. Construction companies work simultaneously on sites in the Europaviertel and across the Rhine-Main region. Jobilino is the time-tracking solution that works in Frankfurt: directly via app at the job site, assignment-based and legally compliant – no matter how many locations, no matter how many floors.

Time tracking via app – everywhere in Frankfurt and the Rhine-Main region

Employees record their working hours directly at the deployment site via smartphone – from the banking district to Offenbach, from Höchst to Hanau.

NFC tags in buildings and properties

NFC tags are attached to cleaning properties, building entrances or floor-level access points. Ideal for Frankfurt's high-rise office buildings and building complexes with multiple tenants.

Property-precise assignment for building complexes

In Frankfurt, many businesses manage multiple tenants or clients within a single building. Jobilino assigns hours not just to the building, but to the correct floor, tenant or order.

The problem

Time Tracking in Frankfurt: High-Rises, Commuter Flows, Zero Oversight

Frankfurt presents particular challenges for businesses with mobile employees. The city is compact, yet the job sites could not be more varied: office high-rises with thirty floors, business parks in Niederrad, new residential developments in Gateway Gardens, period-building renovations in Nordend, and major construction sites along the S-Bahn corridors into the surrounding region. On top of that, Frankfurt is a commuter city – many employees travel in daily from Offenbach, Darmstadt, Wiesbaden or the Taunus. Anyone still recording working hours on paper or in Excel in this environment loses track every single day – and risks errors in billing, payroll and regulatory reporting.

Employees work spread across the entire Frankfurt city area and the Rhine-Main region
Assignments in high-rise buildings, building complexes and business parks require location-precise time tracking
Travel times between assignment locations within the urban road network and S-Bahn network are not recorded accurately
Timesheets are filled in retrospectively – when there are multiple assignment locations per day, details are missing
No central overview of which employees are currently deployed at which location
During regulatory inspections, the complete working time records required under the Working Hours Act (ArbZG) are missing

The solution

The office has real-time visibility across all job sites in Frankfurt and the Rhine-Main region.

Häufige Fragen zur Zeiterfassung in Frankfurt

Is time tracking legally required in Frankfurt?

Yes. The German Working Hours Act (ArbZG), in conjunction with the case law of the Federal Labour Court, obliges employers to introduce a system for recording working hours. The start, end and duration of the daily working time must be documented for all employees. Violations may result in fines and employment law consequences.

Is Jobilino suitable for building cleaning and facility management in Frankfurt's high-rise buildings?

Yes, particularly well. Frankfurt has a unique density of office high-rises and building complexes where multiple tenants and clients often share the same roof. Jobilino assigns hours not just to the building, but to the correct floor, tenant, or contract – via NFC tag on the level or via app. This produces clean service records for each client.

Does time tracking work across the entire Rhine-Main region?

Yes. Many Frankfurt-based businesses operate not only within the city, but also in Offenbach, Wiesbaden, Darmstadt, Mainz, Hanau, and the entire Rhine-Main region. Jobilino works regardless of location – whether the assignment takes place in Frankfurt-Niederrad or in Rüsselsheim.

Can travel times between Frankfurt deployment sites be recorded separately?

Yes. Significant travel times accumulate daily in Frankfurt's urban traffic and between sites across the Rhine-Main region. Jobilino clearly separates travel time, waiting time, and active deployment time – for accurate payroll and transparent client invoices.

Is Jobilino suitable for international teams in Frankfurt?

Yes. Frankfurt is one of Germany's most international cities – particularly in construction, cleaning, and facility management, teams include employees from many different countries of origin. Jobilino is available in multiple languages and designed to be so intuitive that employees can get started immediately without any training.

How does NFC-based location verification work in large buildings?

A small NFC tag is affixed at every relevant access point – building entrance, floor door, cleaning room. Employees scan the tag when arriving and leaving. This creates a precise location record that accurately assigns, even in high-rises with multiple tenants, which client the hours were performed for.

What sets Jobilino apart from a simple time clock app?

A simple time clock app only records clock-in and clock-out times. Jobilino goes significantly further: job-related assignment, project time tracking, travel time separation, NFC location verification, photo documentation, team recording and ready-made evaluations for payroll and billing. That is the difference between a single feature and a system that covers the entire process from the construction site to invoicing.

How quickly can Jobilino be up and running in my Frankfurt business?

Typically within half a working day. Sites and employees are set up, NFC tags are distributed as needed, the app is installed – and from the very next day your employees record their working hours directly via the app. No IT project, no on-site installation, no weeks-long rollout.
