Penalties and operational risk

Poor workday record keeping does not only affect formal compliance. It also makes internal audits, hour management and responses to inspections or labor disputes more difficult.

What usually causes problems

  • Incomplete records or records that are hard to review.
  • Manual systems with low traceability or weak consistency.
  • Difficulty proving start time, end time and employee follow-up.
