Every post covered. The 12-hour limit monitored live.
Klacks covers sites and patrols gap-free — and monitors live whether 12-hour shifts stay within the statutory presence limit (Art. 101), with an immediate warning if a breach is imminent — on request, Klacks hard-blocks the breach in automatic planning. Installed on your premises, so your deployment and client data are stored on your own servers in Saudi Arabia.
Note on the sample data: All names, places (for example Winterthur), addresses and figures in these recordings are fictitious demo data with a Swiss background, written in Latin script. They only illustrate the product – you do not need to know or be able to read them. In your own installation you enter your own data, and the interface is multilingual.
12-Hour Shifts, Friday Rest and Inspections
12-Hour Shifts Push Art. 101 to the Limit
Typical 12-hour guard shifts (حراس الأمن) use up the statutory 12-hour presence limit per day in full — every minute beyond that is unlawful and is checked by labor inspectors.
Observing the Friday Rest Day Correctly
The weekly rest day (standard Friday, Art. 104) must last at least 24 consecutive hours, be fully paid, and may not be replaced with a cash payment.
Compensating Holiday/Rest-Day Work Correctly
Work on the weekly rest day must be paid as overtime with a 50% premium (effectively 150%), or offset with a paid substitute day (Art. 107).
Your finished shift plan in three steps
Install
Klacks is installed on your own infrastructure — via Docker; allow about half an hour for the first start.
Adjust rules
Public holidays and rest periods come preconfigured for your country, surcharges where defined for your country — and you can adjust them anytime.
Plan automatically
Klacks builds shift plans, flags conflicts and optimizes routes — with an AI assistant if you want.
How Klacks Takes the Load Off Security Services in Saudi Arabia
From covered posts to a hard 12-hour limit — it all fits together.
Sites & Posts, Gap-Free
Every post across all sites — Klacks flags every open slot instantly and fills it automatically on request.
12-Hour Limit Monitored Live (Art. 101)
Klacks monitors shift sequences live and warns immediately if a guard would exceed the configured 12-hour daily limit. On request, Klacks hard-blocks a breach in automatic planning; with manual planning it stays at a warning.
Friday Rest Checked as a Rule
If the weekly rest day of at least 24 consecutive hours is stored as a rule, Klacks takes it into account when planning and warns about violations — the documentation provides the basis for proving full payment through your payroll system.
Rest-Day Work as a Time Premium
Work on the rest day can be stored with the 50% premium as a time credit; your payroll system calculates the money amount. The paid substitute day (Art. 107) is covered by the optional compensatory rest.
Patrols Optimised
For mobile services, Klacks lays out patrol routes so distances stay short and intervals are kept.
Installed on Your Premises: Deployment Data Stored on Your Servers in KSA
Klacks runs on your own infrastructure. Sensitive deployment and personnel data is stored physically on your servers in Saudi Arabia — with a locally hosted AI model, no AI request goes to an external AI provider; transfers are governed by the PDPL and SDAIA, and the legal assessment remains with you.

"Cover the night shift for Site North" is enough — Klacksy starts the planning, Klacks automatically checks the 12-hour limit and Friday rest.
What Klacks can do — in real recordings
Short videos from the running app, sorted by topic. Choose a chapter; only the video of the open chapter ever plays.
Note on the sample data: All names, places (for example Winterthur), addresses and figures in these recordings are fictitious demo data with a Swiss background, written in Latin script. They only illustrate the product – you do not need to know or be able to read them. In your own installation you enter your own data, and the interface is multilingual.
- Klacksy helps you get it right in every one of these cases: describe your rule in the chat in your own words, for example “Sundays earn a 50% surcharge.” — Klacksy asks follow-up questions, shows a preview and only saves once you confirm.
- Klacksy also creates scenarios and starts planning inside them — tell it in the chat, for example: “Plan Winterthur from November 2 to 8.”
- Klacksy, the built-in AI assistant, can also do all of this for you on request — for example, tell it in the chat: “Add expenses of 24.50 for Mia on October 6.”
A calendar that follows the moon
In Saudi Arabia, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development decrees all four official public holidays centrally — uniformly across the whole Kingdom, with no provincial or municipal level like in Europe. The real challenge lies elsewhere: the two religious holidays, whose exact date is only confirmed at short notice by moon sighting.
- Uniform nationwide, no regional levelEid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, National Day on September 23 and Founding Day on February 22 apply unchanged across the whole Kingdom — for the public and private sector alike, with no cantonal or municipal exceptions.
- Mix calendarsA business based in Riyadh or Dhahran with partners in the Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain or Oman needs several country calendars running at once — moon sightings occasionally differ by a day between Gulf states, as they did between Saudi Arabia and Oman in 2023.
- Binding or purely informationalFor each calendar, you decide whether a holiday affects hours & premiums — or simply appears as a reminder.
It all comes down to the settings
Klacks offers countless ways to calculate rules and hour credits for nights, weekends, public holidays and overtime — exactly the way your contracts and company agreements require.
- Nights and weekends You set the night window and the surcharge rates yourself, and choose up to three weekend days — as a multiplier that is added to the hours worked as a time credit in hours.
- Public holidays and overtime A separate public-holiday rate, and overtime per day or per week in up to three tiers. When several surcharges fall on the same hour, the highest one applies — or all of them add up.
- Your own calculation with a macro If that is not enough, a macro does the maths: a short script using weekday, time of day, public holidays and contract values — with conditions, loops and functions of your own.
- Scheduling rules Rest periods, maximum daily and weekly hours, consecutive working days, free Sundays or hour caps per period — each one as a warning or, in automatic planning, as a block.
Rule violations: Klacks warns you instantly
Klacks flags time collisions, rest periods that are too short, too many consecutive working days and work on holidays right as you plan — as an error or warning in the error list.
