Accurate Time Tracking

Germany Labor Law Compliance

The standard working week is typically limited to 48 hours (8 hours/day, 6 days/week) but can extend to 10 hours/day if the 6-month average remains 8 hours/day. Employees must receive 11 hours’ rest between workdays and a 24-hour weekly rest period (usually Sunday).
Overtime must be compensated (pay or time off). Employers must ensure employees do not exceed legal working hours.
Employers must track working hours, breaks, and overtime—even for remote/mobile workers—to ensure compliance.
All time tracking data is personal data and must be securely stored, accessible to employees, and used only for legal and payroll purposes.
Collective agreements and contracts may set stricter standards for working hours and overtime.
Violations can result in fines, legal actions, and employee complaints.
