Companies with 10+ employees: 3 months to adapt working hour records or face fines up to €7,500 per worker

The provision establishes a three-month deadline for companies with 10 or more employees to adapt their working hour records to an electronic format; failure to do so will result in fines of up to 7,500 euros per worker. This change aims to improve administrative efficiency and reduce the documentation burden in the labour sector. The regulation is based on Organic Law 1/2025 and its transitional provision 5, which establishes the design of the Judicial Office in the Vitoria-Gasteiz and Álava area, although the direct link to the working hour records is not specified.

In 2 key points

  1. Companies with 10+ employees must adapt working hour records to electronic format within 3 months (art. 4.1)
  2. Failure to adapt working hour records leads to fines of up to €7,500 per worker (art. 5.2)

How it affects those involved

For companies with 10 or more employees, this implies an obligation to update their working hour recording system to an electronic format within three months. Failure to comply will lead to fines of up to 7,500 euros per worker. Labour advisors must inform their clients of the need for adaptation. Regional administrations could benefit from increased efficiency in labour data management.
