Time tracking diagnostic:
would your records hold up?
The question that settles an inspection is not whether your team works hard. It is whether you can reconstruct, day by day and years back, when each person started and finished. Six questions to see whether you could.
The six areas we look at
How people clock in
Whether each person records their day or somebody fills it in for the team.
Work away from the office
How people on site, at a client or on the road clock in.
Overtime
When you find out somebody is working beyond their hours.
Absence and leave
Whether the calendar and the clock-ins live in the same place.
Record keeping
How long it would take to produce records from three years ago.
Reporting
Whether you see gaps in the record before they pile up.
Questions about the diagnostic
Is this legal advice?
No. It is a questionnaire that ranks priorities from your answers. For how the rules apply to your case, talk to your employment adviser.
What actually requires recording working hours?
Since the Court of Justice of the European Union ruling of May 2019 (case C-55/18), member states must require employers to set up an objective, reliable and accessible system for measuring daily working time. How that is implemented, and the penalties attached, vary by country: check the current rules where you operate.
Do I have to leave my email?
Not for the score, the breakdown and your main problem. The email is for the full plan.
Will you call me?
Only if you ask.
Shall we go through your case?
Half an hour to look at how your team clocks in today and what it would take for the record to hold up on its own.
