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

Law 2/2026 repeals Law 7/2007 and amends several articles regarding environmental management, including working hour records. A 3-month period is established to adapt the working hour recording system; failure to do so will result in fines of up to €7,500 per worker (Art. 56.1.c). This change aims to modernise the management of working hours within the environmental sector.

In 2 key points

  1. 3-month deadline to adapt working hour records (art. 56.1.c)
  2. Fines of up to €7,500 per worker for non-compliance (art. 56.1.c)

How it affects those involved
