Time registration mandatory from May 12, 2019
As of May 12, it is mandatory for employers that employees register their hours. This concerns the compliance and control that can be conducted regarding this. On one hand, it is to combat fraud in the workplace, and on the other hand, it is to better protect employees so that overtime is also paid out.
Sanctions for not recording hours
Failing to register the hours can lead to sanctions. Companies will be fined between € 626 and € 6,250.
What needs to be registered?
The registration of working hours must include the start time and end time for each employee per day. In addition to the registration of hours, it is important that employees sign the record of hours worked.
The way this is recorded can be examined and determined by the organization itself. Not every company will do this in the same way because each company is structured differently and employees in various roles have different working hours. Think of fixed days with set hours in the office, but also consider flexible workers, part-timers, and representatives who work outside a lot.
Data retention obligation
These data must be retained for at least four years. During this time, the data must be available to employees and the Inspection or Social Security.
