Time recording: optimised and legally compliant
Progressive digitalisation, new legislation, new work concepts and an individualised society are massively and continuously changing the world of work. Nowadays, companies must be able to adapt more and more flexibly to the demands of the market if they want to survive in competition.
With the ruling on the obligation to systematically record working time, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) has ruled that employers must record the entire working time of their employees with precise timing. Employers must document the beginning, duration and end of their employees' working hours, especially with regard to the Minimum Wage Act and the Posted Workers Act. Without these precautions, neither the number of hours worked, overtime, night, weekend and holiday bonuses, sick days, customer appointments, holiday periods and their distribution over time could be determined objectively and reliably. Those who already think in the long term and rely on our software module ZMS - Time Recording System, save themselves unnecessary time and can enjoy the many advantages.
