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

The regulation stipulates that companies with 10 or more employees must adapt their time tracking records to an electronic format within three months; failure to do so may result in fines of up to 7,500 euros per worker. This change aims to modernise working hour management and improve transparency in time recording. The deadline is established under Article 4.1 of Royal Decree 145/2026.

In 2 key points

  1. Companies with 10+ employees must adapt time tracking records to an electronic format within 3 months (art. 4.1)
  2. Fines of up to €7,500 per worker if the deadline is not met (art. 4.2)

How it affects those involved

For companies with more than 10 employees, this implies a mandatory modernisation of their time tracking systems. Advisors must review internal processes to ensure compliance within the new deadline. While workers will not experience direct changes, transparency in time recording may improve. Regional administrations could facilitate compliance monitoring.
