Burkindy Cleaning

Terms of Service

DRAFT: not in effect and not legal advice. Written from how the Burkindy Timecard app actually works, for review by a Minnesota attorney before it is published. Text in [brackets] needs a decision or a fact. Effective date: [set when published].

The agreement

By using the Burkindy Timecard app or our website, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy.

  • The app (app.burkindycleaning.com) is for Burkindy Cleaning LLC employees and managers, to record work time and manage schedules and timesheets. Only people we give an account to may use it.
  • The website (www.burkindycleaning.com) is for anyone. The sections on accounts, punching, acceptable use, and hours apply only to app users.

These terms cover how the app is used. They don't replace your employment terms, our workplace policies, or your rights under the law.

Your account and your phone

Your account is yours alone: keep your password private and use only your own sign-in.

  • Sign in with your own phone number and password. Never share them, and never use someone else's.
  • Keep your details current (phone, address, emergency contacts) by telling your manager.
  • The punch clock stays signed in on your phone. If your phone is lost, stolen, or shared, tap "Not you?" on it or tell your manager right away, so it can be signed out.
  • Tell your manager if you think someone else has used your account.

Repeated wrong sign-in attempts are paused for a short time to protect accounts.

Punching honestly

Every punch must be your own, made when and where you actually start or stop work.

  • Punch only for yourself. Punching in or out for someone else, or asking someone to punch for you, is not allowed.
  • Punch when you actually start and stop working, at the worksite where you work.
  • If your position requires location or being on site, allow your phone to share its location when you punch. Don't fake, hide, or alter your location (for example with location-spoofing apps).
  • If a punch is missing or wrong, send a change request with the real times and an honest reason. Don't edit around the rules.

The app records every punch attempt, including refused ones. Breaking these rules may lead to [discipline under company policy, up to and including termination: confirm wording].

Acceptable use and confidentiality

Use the app only for your work with Burkindy Cleaning, and keep what you see in it private.

  • Don't try to get around sign-in, access limits, or punch rules, or to see records you aren't allowed to see.
  • Don't interfere with the app: no overloading it, automated scraping, or attempts to break in.
  • Don't copy, sell, or reverse-engineer the app.
  • Managers and admins: coworkers' details, hours, locations, and pay records are confidential. Use them only for scheduling, payroll, and supervision, and don't share them outside the company except as the law requires.

Report anything that looks like a security problem to burkindy@burkindycleaning.com.

Your hours and pay

The app records your time; your pay is set by your employment terms and by wage law, not by these terms.

  • Managers review and approve hours before payroll. Approved hours, including overtime, are what we send to payroll.
  • If you think your hours or pay are wrong, send a change request or contact your manager or the office. [Add the time limit for raising a pay question, if any, per company policy.]
  • Nothing in these terms reduces any wage, overtime, or break right you have under Minnesota or federal law.
  • Work you do counts as work time even if the app fails to record it. Tell your manager so it can be added.

When the app isn't working, and changes to the app

If you can't punch, keep working as scheduled and get your time fixed afterward.

  • The app may sometimes be unavailable (maintenance, an outage, no signal at a worksite).
  • When you can't punch, note your real start and end times and send a change request, or tell your manager, as soon as you can.
  • We may add, change, or remove features. We will tell users about changes that affect how they punch.

Who owns the app

The app, its design, and its content belong to Burkindy Cleaning LLC [or are used under license: confirm the agreement with Dounia.net]. It was developed by Dounia.net. You may use it only as these terms allow, and only while you have an account. Your work records belong to Burkindy Cleaning and are handled as our Privacy Policy describes.

Disclaimers and limits of liability

We work to keep the app accurate and available, but we can't promise it will always be either.

  • The app and website are provided "as is" and "as available," to the extent the law allows.
  • To the extent the law allows, Burkindy Cleaning is not liable for indirect or consequential losses from using, or being unable to use, the app or website.
  • None of this limits your right to be paid for time you worked, or any other right the law does not allow us to limit.

When access ends

Your app access ends when you stop working with us, or earlier if these terms are seriously broken.

  • When your work with us ends, your account is turned off and your phones are signed out.
  • We may suspend an account to protect other users or the company's records while we look into a problem.
  • Your time records are kept after access ends, as the Privacy Policy describes, and you can still ask for a copy of your hours.

Minnesota law, changes, and contact

Minnesota law governs these terms. Any dispute about them goes to the state courts in [Stearns County: confirm], Minnesota, unless the law gives you another place.

When we change these terms, we will post the new version here with a new effective date and tell app users about important changes [in the app or by email]. Using the app after that means you accept the new terms.
