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

The regulation amends Law 6/2022 on climate change and energy transition, requiring companies with more than 10 employees to update their working hour records within 3 months. Failure to comply may result in fines of up to 7,500 euros per worker (Art. 21.3.c, 64 and transitional provision 3.2). This change aims to improve transparency in energy use and working hour management within the context of the energy transition.

In 3 key points

  1. Companies with more than 10 employees must update their working hour records within 3 months (art. 21.3.c)
  2. Failure to maintain working hour records may result in fines of up to €7,500 per worker (art. 64)
  3. The amendment affects energy transition and the management of protected natural areas (disposición transitoria 3.2)

How it affects those involved

Companies with more than 10 employees are subject to a mandatory update of their working hour records within a 3-month deadline, carrying the risk of sanctions for non-compliance. Advisors must review working hour records to ensure the new deadlines are met. While workers face no direct changes, their working hours will be subject to greater transparency. Local authorities will be able to better supervise energy and labour compliance.
