Closing the Compliance Gap: How the TimeSpin® Cube Turns Forgotten Hours into Trust

The compliance discussion is here — but the real challenge remains

The debate around time tracking in line with the 2022 BAG ruling has reached every company by now. But the real challenge remains: how can time tracking be designed so that it is complete, legally compliant, and widely accepted at the same time?

Especially in dynamic offices, hybrid teams, and modern remote work models, weak spots become visible — and they create a dangerous compliance gap.


The silent risk: When time tracking becomes a burden

Many employees still use tools that are not intuitive. Between meetings, focus phases, and client calls, time tracking simply falls behind.

The result: missing entries, estimated times, conflicting data — a nightmare for managers, project leads, and accounting.

Companies are increasingly searching for solutions such as:

  • “simple tool for complete time documentation”
  • “intuitive time tracking without an app”
  • “legally compliant time tracking for remote work”

Missing or incorrect time entries are not only extra administrative effort — they are a real legal risk.


Legal clarity: The serious consequences of non-compliance

As an expert in work time models and workplace health management, I must be clear:

Incomplete or late time tracking is a violation of the German Working Time Act.

This means:

  • Fines of up to €30,000

    Companies that systematically violate recording requirements face heavy penalties.

    Many companies already Google “legally compliant time tracking solution” — and for good reason.

  • Weak legal standing in disputes

    In overtime disputes, the employer bears the burden of proof.

    Without clear data, legal uncertainty arises.

  • Loss of billable hours

    Especially for agencies, law firms, and consultancies:

    undocumented time is lost revenue time.

    Companies are therefore increasingly searching for “time tracking for billing and project budgeting.”

The real problem is rarely willingness — it’s the complexity of existing tools.

Time tracking is perceived as bureaucracy. And that is the greatest compliance danger.


The delightfully simple solution: TimeSpin® as a haptic anchor

The TimeSpin® Cube (dodecahedron) is a haptic time tracking tool for compliance that radically simplifies time tracking.

No app.

No menus.

No clicks.

One turn is enough.

And the working time flows securely into the cloud.

TimeSpin therefore meets multiple search intentions at once:

  • analog time tracking system for remote work
  • time tracking for hybrid teams without effort
  • haptic tracking without screen time
  • intuitive time tracking instead of forgetting

The physical motion — the turning — is a haptic anchor that almost eliminates forgetting.

The system integrates effortlessly into any workflow and generates automated, minute-accurate datasets.


Case study: From obligation to lived trust culture

A hybrid marketing agency correctly documented only around 75% of working time before TimeSpin.

The result: budget issues, recalculations, uncertainty.

With the TimeSpin® Cube, everything changed:

  • Compliance rate of 98% after one month
  • Real-time transparency for project managers
  • Trust-building instead of control
  • Burnout prevention through visible overload
  • Self-organization instead of bureaucracy

Thus, TimeSpin functions not only as a time tracking tool, but as a New Work solution for healthy productivity.


Conclusion: Compliance is not a control tool — it’s a competitive advantage

The TimeSpin® Cube is a strategic answer to the challenges of modern work:

It combines legally compliant tracking, haptic simplicity, and maximum employee acceptance.

It is:

  • a tool for complete working time documentation
  • a booster for trust culture
  • a shield against legal risks
  • a driver of transparency and efficiency
  • a contribution to overload and burnout prevention

So if you are looking for a simple, intuitive time tracking solution without an app that is also BAG-compliant, you will find in the TimeSpin® Cube a solution that connects legal security with human simplicity.
