Companies with over 10 workers: 3-month deadline to switch to digital shift records or face up to €7,500 per worker fines

The rule sets a three-month deadline for companies with more than 10 employees to transition their shift records to digital format, otherwise fines of up to €7,500 per worker will apply. This change aims to modernise labour records and enhance transparency in shift monitoring. The obligation stems from Article 4 of Royal Decree-Law 6/2023 and comes into force on 8 May 2026.

In 2 key points

  1. Public sector job offers for 2026 (art. 108 del Real Decreto-ley 6/2023)
  2. Effects from 8 May 2026 (art. 108 del Real Decreto-ley 6/2023)

How it affects those involved

Public sector job offers must be submitted by 8 May 2026. Candidates can access them from that date, with no changes to selection processes or eligibility criteria. No further action is required from candidates due to the lack of a specified submission deadline.
