Main updated of the new regulations
One of the most outstanding measures is the obligation for the workday registration to be completely digital and accessible to the Labor and Social Security Inspectorate remotely. In addition, each worker must receive a detailed monthly document with all their hours worked, including overtime, to guarantee their correct payment.
This new system must be reliable, objective and accessible, ensuring that each worker can register their entry and exit without the possibility of manipulation by the company. The regulations also establish that any additional time worked will be considered as overtime or complementary hours as appropriate.
The Impact for Companies
Companies that do not comply with the new regulation may face significant financial penalties. In the event of non-compliance, the burden of proof will fall on the company, and if the hours worked cannot be demonstrated, it will be presumed that the contract is full-time. This makes having a reliable registration system more important than ever.
How timenet can facilitate the transition
In light of this new regulation, timenet presents itself as a practical and efficient solution for companies that need to adapt to the new time registration. With timenet, companies can:
Implement an easy-to-use digital register that is accessible from any device.
Guarantee compliance with regulations with a secure and verifiable system.
Generate detailed reports of hours worked and overtime automatically.
Allow workers to register their work independently, ensuring transparency and reducing administrative errors.
In addition, the timenet system is flexible and adapts to the needs of each company, regardless of its size or sector.
Adaptation and deadlines
Although the regulation must complete its parliamentary processing before its publication in the BOE, it is expected to enter into force before the summer of 2025. To facilitate the transition, companies will have an adaptation period, especially those with collective agreements that stipulate working hours exceeding 37.5 hours per week.
By strengthening the time registration, the aim is to put an end to fraud in unpaid overtime and ensure that each worker has clear and accessible control of their working day. Implementing a tool like timenet not only facilitates compliance with the law, but also helps companies better manage their time and resources.
