Companies with more than 10 employees must update their working time records within 3 months or face fines of up to 7,500 EUR per employee

The Cantabria Law 5/2026 repeals and modifies Article 5 of Law 2/2012, requiring companies with more than 10 employees to update their working time records in electronic format. This measure aims to improve labor transparency and control. The obligation takes effect upon entry into force, with a 3-month deadline to comply (art. 4).

In 3 key points

  1. Companies with more than 10 employees must update their time records to an electronic format (art. 4)
  2. A three-month deadline applies to comply with the adaptation requirement (art. 4)
  3. Fines of up to EUR 7,500 per worker if the deadline is not met (art. 4)

How it affects those involved

For companies with more than 10 employees, it entails a mandatory digitisation of time records within a three-month period. Advisors must review existing records and guide clients through the transition. While workers face no direct changes, improved labour control may enhance safety and compliance. Regional authorities will gain greater oversight and traceability in labour registration.
