The Duty to Record Working Time
Across the EU employers must operate an objective, reliable and accessible system for recording daily working time. Where that came from and what it requires.
Reference
The legal position
In much of Europe recording hours is an obligation that exists to protect the worker. What the standard actually requires, and why accessibility is part of it rather than a feature.

Pay, Rounding and Off-the-Clock Work
Where time records meet pay, small design choices become legal exposure. Rounding, pre-shift work, breaks and the records that settle disputes.
Reference
Time Records as Personal Data
A timesheet describes a named person's working day. What that means for basis, minimisation, access and retention.
Reference
Teams Across Jurisdictions
One system, several legal regimes, and rules that genuinely conflict. Designing for the strictest rather than for the average.
Analysis
The Worker's Own Record
Accessibility is part of the recording standard and the cheapest quality control available. What routine access should show.
