More than 50% of small businesses do not want to reduce the working day to 37.5 hours

According to a recent study (II Report on SMEs and Self-Employed in Spain, prepared by the insurance company Hiscox), almost 60% of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and self-employed people in Spain reject reducing the working day to 37.5 hours per week. This refusal is due to several reasons, among which the fear of a decrease in productivity and an increase in costs stands out.

Many companies, especially smaller ones, fear that a reduced working day will force them to hire more staff or redistribute working hours in an inefficient manner, which could increase costs and reduce profit margins.

These companies also highlight the need to maintain flexibility in working hours in order to adapt to market demands, which often require availability outside conventional hours. This is especially important in sectors where constant contact with customers is key to maintaining competitiveness.

In order to facilitate optimal management of working time without compromising efficiency, Timenet offers a working day registration and project management system adapted to the needs of each company.

Our system allows SMEs to have precise control of the hours worked by each employee and adjust the working day according to their specific needs. Thanks to Timenet, companies can maintain the flexibility they need to continue operating efficiently without being forced to reduce working hours or increase the workforce.
