In order to protect their employees, companies are obliged by law to establish a daily work time monitoring system, complete with absences and holidays.
- This principle was reiterated in Europe by a ruling of the European Court of Justice. The related regulation is up to the member states.
-
In Switzerland there are ordinances in this regard, that provide for the obligation of systematic recording of working time, with some exceptions provided for a simplified recording (only number of hours worked).(The Swiss ordinance is only available in GE/FR/IT).
Banana Accounting Timesheet provides an excellent compromise
Centralized timekeeping systems are not suitable or applicable to all situations. They are valid for companies, where staff do their job on the premises and where there is staff who adjust automatic data. The system is not suitable, when workers carry out their tasks from home or outside or in small businesses.
There is also another very important aspect. In many companies a relationship of trust exists between employee and employer for which there is no systematic collection of working time. Today, this approach is no longer acceptable as it puts companies in a situation of great legal uncertainty as well as making it difficult for workers to claim and justify hours actually worked.
Banana Accounting Timesheet offers an excellent compromise
