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

The regulation establishes a three-month deadline for companies with more than 10 employees to adapt their time tracking records to an electronic format. Failure to comply may result in fines of up to 7,500 euros per worker. This change aims to modernise labour management and improve transparency in the monitoring of hours worked (Art. 4).

In 2 key points

  1. Companies with more than 10 employees must adapt their time tracking records to an electronic format (art. 4)
  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 requirement to update their time tracking systems. While workers face no direct changes, their working hours will be more transparent. Advisors must review records and advise clients on meeting the deadline. Companies that fail to act risk significant fines for non-compliance (Art. 4).
