With just a few days left before companies must be prepared to comply with their new time control obligations, we describe what the sanctions may be for not complying with them.

What does the law say about time control?
For what reasons can companies be fined? Depending on their severity, fines can range from 60 to 187,515 euros.
There is less than a week left until the deadline given to companies to adapt to the changes made to the Workers' Statute that require them to keep track of their armenia email list 105644 contact leads employees' working hours . It does not matter what type of workday they work, whether part-time or full-time. In both cases, this record must be kept, documented and preserved. In case of non-compliance, a series of sanctions are established that the company may face if it does not implement time control .

The law does not specify how we must keep track of employees' hours, it simply states that we must do so. It is up to companies to implement one system or another depending on their needs, employee mobility characteristics or the administrative burden they wish to assume for this process.


Royal Decree Law 8/2019 proposed the reform of the Workers' Statute, which entails the obligation for all companies to carry out time control of the working day . Specifically, it establishes the following:

The work record will be daily and must include both the time of entry and exit.
The company will determine how such registration is carried out and will instruct employees to do so.
Workers and union representatives will receive a monthly report of regular and overtime hours worked.
The time control record must be available to the Labour and Social Security Inspectorate if required.
These time control records must be kept for at least four years.
In short, it is about having control not only over the time of entry and exit, but also over the performance of overtime or complementary hours , depending on whether our workday is full or part-time. And, of course, the number of overtime hours allowed cannot be exceeded, established at a maximum of 80 per year, except to prevent or repair accidents and other extraordinary and urgent damages.

On the other hand, the deadline for companies to be adapted is until May 12, 2019, which is just one week away.

Penalties that companies may face for failure to comply with time registration
If, after this date (May 12), we receive a labor inspection, we may suffer a sanction for different reasons , whether it be the absence of time control systems, failure to communicate said record to employees, doing overtime and not paying for it or disguising it under other remuneration concepts.

Penalties may include:

Minor: from 60 to 625 euros, for example, for failing to report on working conditions or failing to provide time recording reports to both workers and their representatives.

Serious: from 625 to 6,250 euros , if irregularities have been committed in the agreed hours or overtime has been worked that has not been computed or paid.
