The question of whether and how employers have to record their employees’ working hours has gained considerable momentum with the decision of the Federal Labor Court on September 13, 2022. The recently published reasons for the court’s ruling increase the pressure on legislators to finally take action.
In 2019, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled in the much-discussed “time clock judgment” that member states must oblige employers to set up an “objective, reliable and accessible system for recording working time”. However, the German legislator remained inactive and has not yet implemented this requirement. The new ruling, which obliges employers to introduce a system for recording working time, now makes this requirement a reality.
Nevertheless, some questions arise
- What does it mean from the employer’s point of view when the courts overtake the legislator?
- Does the obligation to record time already apply now and for all companies across all sectors? What does systematic time recording involve?
- What are the requirements for employers?
