It should be noted that according to the regulations, companies must guarantee the daily registration of the workday, that is, register the specific start and end times of each worker's workday. However, and although it is not mandatory, the Labor Inspectorate believes that the daily registration of the workday should include breaks and interruptions.
The simplest example is a worker with a continuous workday, from seven to three, who has a 20-minute break for breakfast. This time is considered working time, so it would only be necessary to register one entry and one exit.
If, on the other hand, we have a workday from 8 to 5 with an hour for lunch, this meal time, being a split day, would be necessary to register it, registering entry and exit in the morning and also in the afternoon.
And do trips count as a working day? Let's say, for example, a salesperson who has to visit a client an hour away from home, when does the registration of the workday begin? When does the trip begin or upon arrival at their destination? The Labor Inspectorate assumes that the trips that the worker makes that are not typical of the return trip from the home or residence must be considered as a working day as long as they have a specific work center.
With the Timenet marking module, you can include as many breaks as necessary, whether for a cigarette, breakfast, lunch, travel, doctor, etc., and consider them working time or not. In this way, in addition to complying with the regulations by recording the working day of the workers, you will be able to control all the interruptions that each of the company's employees makes.
