Spanish employers need a daily working-time record that shows the concrete start and finish time of each worker's workday. The recordkeeping duty comes from Spain's Workers' Statute and does not remove flexible working-time arrangements, so the app should support different schedules without losing the daily start and end times.
Records must stay available for four years to workers, worker representatives, and the Labour and Social Security Inspectorate. A practical employee time tracking app in Spain should make daily entries easy to review, lock, retrieve, and explain without rebuilding the week from chat messages, calendar events, or project comments.
Spain's ordinary working-time rules make daily and annual review important. Maximum ordinary working time is 40 hours of effective work per week on average over the annual reference period. Ordinary effective working time may not exceed 9 hours per day unless a collective agreement or worker-representative agreement sets another distribution.
The app should help reviewers see the spacing between workdays because at least 12 hours must pass between the end of one workday and the start of the next. Ordinary overtime also needs separate visibility because Spain caps it at 80 hours per year, excluding urgent work to prevent or repair extraordinary damage.
Working-time records identify individual workers, so GDPR and Spain's LOPDGDD apply. AEPD guidance treats these records as personal-data processing, which means the setup should follow minimization, purpose limitation, worker information rights, and security controls. Basic time entry for attendance, payroll, and operational review needs fewer data points than broad activity surveillance.
Geolocation creates a sharper privacy issue. Employers may use location data for lawful work-control purposes within legal limits after clear prior notice to workers. AEPD guidance says location tracking for time records should verify the start and end of work instead of continuously checking where the worker is during the day.
A simple weekly spreadsheet can work for a very small team that only needs to collect daily start and finish times, review totals, and store signed records. That approach breaks down once multiple projects, client billing, flexible schedules, overtime review, and four-year retrieval all depend on the same time data.
Managed tracking fits better when recorded time must feed timesheets, reports, budgets, invoices, or payroll review. Everhour Time Tracking lets employees use live timers or manual entries against tasks and projects, while admins can use approvals, locked periods, reminders, and timer rules to keep records ready for review.

Yes. Spain's Workers' Statute requires employers to maintain a daily working-time record showing each worker's concrete start and finish time. The duty applies alongside flexible working-time arrangements, so flexible schedules still need a daily record. Employers must keep those records for four years and make them available to workers, worker representatives, and the Labour and Social Security Inspectorate.
A Spanish setup should help reviewers compare recorded time against the 40-hour average weekly ordinary limit, the 9-hour ordinary daily limit unless a valid agreement sets another distribution, the 12-hour rest period between workdays, and the 80-hour annual cap on ordinary overtime. The app should separate ordinary hours, overtime, and exceptions that require later review.
The time record should identify overtime clearly before payroll or time-off decisions are made. In Spain, overtime must be paid at no less than the value of ordinary working time or compensated with equivalent paid rest. If there is no agreement, overtime is treated as compensated by rest within four months.
Geolocation should be limited to the purpose that justifies it. AEPD guidance says location tracking for time records should verify the start and end of work rather than continuously checking a worker's location. Employers also need clear prior notice and a proportionate setup under GDPR and Spain's LOPDGDD.
Spanish teams usually need Castilian Spanish support, with room for co-official languages in autonomous communities when company policy or worker communications require them. Spain uses the euro, so project budgets, billable rates, invoices, and payroll exports should use EUR where financial data connects to recorded time.
Everhour Time Tracking captures task and project hours through live timers or manual entries, then feeds those records into timesheets, reports, budgets, invoices, and payroll review. Admins can use approvals, locked periods, reminders, and timer rules to keep weekly records controlled before they move into billing or payroll workflows.
Everhour Reporting turns logged time, budgets, costs, and project data into configurable reports with columns, grouping, filters, date ranges, and exports. Managers can review team hours, billable time, labor costs, invoice status, and project detail in CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF formats for audit and operational files.
Use Everhour Time Tracking to collect task and project hours, review timesheets, lock approved periods, and connect employee records to billing, budgets, and payroll review in Everhour.
