Is the time clock coming for everyone?

The 2019 European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruling on the recording of working time is still omnipresent. In case C-55/18, the Spanish trade union CCOO brought an action against a Deutsche Bank branch in Spain. According to the ECJ ruling, Member States of the European Union are obliged to ensure that companies record the daily working time of their employees. To this end, companies are obliged to introduce an objective, reliable and publicly accessible record of working time.

Recording of working time - when does it become compulsory?

The German Federal Labour Court (Bundesarbeitsgericht, BAG) confirmed the ECJ's ruling at the end of September 2022, sparking renewed discussions. There is already an obligation to record working time. The federal government is currently working on a draft law to transfer the ECJ's requirements into national law and anchor them in the German Labour Code. A look at other member states of the European Union shows that full implementation of the ruling is still a long time coming.
