You can no longer do without time recording

The European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled in 2019 that employers must set up a system for recording working hours. This decision is based on various European legal principles and fundamental rights. Although the ruling was controversial in Germany, no active legal regulation has yet been implemented.

In our blog post on Personalwolke, we shed light on the decision of the Federal Labor Court (BAG) in 2022, which established a general obligation to record working hours. We take a look at the most important new regulations in the Federal Office of Labor and Social Affairs' draft bill on working time recording and what they mean for companies.
