Labor inspection regulations

Time registration applies to all workers, whether they are "mobile" workers, commercial, temporary, remote workers or in any other situation.

However, there are three professional categories that are exempt from time registration:

• Relationships of a special nature: senior management personnel, domestic employees, professional athletes, inmates in prisons and institutions, performers in public shows, disabled workers in special employment centers and lawyers working in law firms.
  
  
• Workers subject to specific regulations: those workers whose function is road transport, members of the merchant navy and workers who perform cross-border services by train.
  
  
• Self-employed workers or workers associated with cooperatives.
  
  

The standard does not establish a specific modality; it merely states that any system capable of providing reliable, unmodifiable information that cannot be manipulated a posteriori, either by the employer or by the employee himself, will be valid.

Some supports may be:

• Paper-based record books: the most classic method. They are completed by hand, so they must be recorded in person, do not allow any type of automation and therefore involve higher management costs.
  
  
• Excel spreadsheets: the digital evolution of paper records. They are easy to implement, but have many drawbacks, especially if we have to work with large templates.
  
  
• 100% digital time and attendance software: they are accessible through a website and/or an app. These systems are quick to implement, easy to maintain, flexible and provide reliable information.
