What is Royal Decree 8/2019?
Royal Decree 8/2019 is a Spanish regulation that establishes the mandatory requirement for all companies to register their employees' daily working hours. This regulation came into force on May 12, 2019 and affects all companies, regardless of their size or sector.
Why is it important to comply with RD 8/2019?
Compliance with RD 8/2019 is mandatory by law. Companies that do not comply with this registration can be sanctioned by the Labor Inspection with fines of up to €6,250 for serious offenses. Additionally, in case of labor disputes, the lack of registration can be detrimental to the company in legal proceedings.
Which companies are required?
All Spanish companies are required to have a work time registration system, regardless of their number of employees or type of contract. This includes:
- Companies with full-time employees
- Companies with part-time employees
- Self-employed with workers
- Associations and foundations with staff
How does mandatory registration work?
The registration must include:
- Entry time of each employee
- Exit time of each employee
- Date of the clock-in
- Identification of the employee
The registration must be tamper-proof and must be kept for 4 years. With Time Work Control, this registration is done digitally and securely, meeting all legal requirements.
