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

Galicia's Law 1/2026 on climate establishes a three-month deadline for companies with more than 10 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 modernise working hour management and improve transparency in time tracking. The regulation is part of the framework established by the Statute approved by Organic Law 1/1981 of 6 April, and was published in DOG no. 28 on 11 February 2026 (Art. 4).

In 2 key points

  1. Companies with more than 10 employees must adapt their working hour records to an electronic format within 3 months (art. 4)
  2. Non-compliance carries fines of up to €7,500 per worker (art. 4.2)

How it affects those involved

Companies with more than 10 employees are subject to a mandatory modernisation of their working hour records within a 3-month period, which may incur adaptation costs. While workers face no direct changes, the accuracy of their records could be affected if systems are not updated. Labour advisors must review time management processes to ensure companies meet the deadline. Regional authorities may facilitate compliance monitoring.
