The central government wants companies to be obliged to have workers mark their work when they enter and leave work.
If the labor reform proposal of the Government of Pedro Sánchez is carried out, the Workers' Statute will recognize as a basic labor right of all employees "to know the duration and distribution of their ordinary working day, as well as their working hours".
This is stated in the latest draft of the proposal, which the CCOO and UGT unions have positively assessed because they consider that it will help prevent fraud with overtime. In this way, and as stated in the proposal, "it will be the obligation of each company to record the working day of each worker. This record of the working day will be daily and must include the specific time of entry and exit".
"A good part of the fraud is carried out due to the lack of time control, so I believe it is an important measure that will help us so that when the labor inspection comes to a center, it knows if the worker is within the required hours, if their contract is full-time or not and if they are overtime or not," specified Josep Maria Álvarez (general secretary of the UGT).
