Use this page to create a practical working-time record for employees in Hungary: daily start and end times, ordinary work, extraordinary working time, standby duty, and leave. Hungarian Labour Code section 134 makes those categories recordkeeping items for employers, so a time tracker needs more structure than a simple hours note. The outcome is a current record that payroll, managers, and employees can read without guessing.
For an employee with a regular day, the record should separate the scheduled work block from later extraordinary work and any standby period. For leave, mark the absence instead of letting the day look blank. For project teams, add client, project, or task labels, then keep the legal categories intact so billing detail does not erase the working-time record. Hungary's official EU language is Hungarian and its currency is the Hungarian forint, HUF, so use Hungarian labels and HUF cost fields when the record feeds local review.
A useful entry starts with the person, date, location if relevant, and the actual start and end time for each working period. Add a category for ordinary working time, extraordinary working time, standby duty, or leave. Employee time records that identify workers are personal data under the GDPR, so notes should explain the business reason for unusual time without collecting private detail.
Hungarian records must stay current, so a manager should review missing stops, overlapping entries, and unclassified extra time before payroll closes. A clean week shows each day separately, with ordinary work and any extraordinary work placed in separate rows or categories. A blank day should carry a recorded leave label, nonworking-day label, or another clear status so the time file has no unexplained gap.
Hungary's general full daily working time under the Hungarian Labour Code is 8 hours. Scheduled working time is generally capped at 12 hours per day and 48 hours per week, with overtime included in those limits. Annual extraordinary working time also needs its own count: up to 250 ordered hours per calendar year, plus up to 150 additional voluntary overtime hours per year by written agreement with the employee. Prorating applies for partial-year, fixed-term, or part-time employment.
Compensation labels matter because Hungarian extraordinary work uses different premium rules. For overtime beyond the scheduled daily working time, a working-time frame, or a settlement period, the employee is entitled to a 50% wage supplement; equivalent time off can replace the supplement if employment rules or an agreement allow that treatment. Overtime ordered on a weekly rest day or rest period carries a 100% premium, reduced to 50% if substitute rest is provided; public holiday overtime carries a 100% premium.
A one-off tracker is enough when you need a clean weekly file for one employee, one pay period, or a draft check before payroll review. It works for small corrections, manager signoff, or rebuilding missing start and end times from approved source documents. It breaks down when entries must stay current across many people, projects, leave records, standby periods, and overtime agreement limits.
Everhour fits the managed side by giving admins Team Management controls for working days and hours, weekly capacity, personal tracking limits, roles, project assignments, and groups. Managers can approve or reject submitted time, lock approved periods, and correct entries for team members. That creates a durable workflow for payroll, billing, and reporting handoffs without turning a one-off spreadsheet into the system of record.

Yes. Hungarian Labour Code section 134 requires employers to keep current records for ordinary working time, extraordinary working time, standby duty, leave, and certain voluntary overtime agreements. The record must show the start and end time of ordinary work, extraordinary work, and standby duty actually performed.
Yes. The exception applies only when the employer has transferred scheduling rights to the employee in writing because the employee independently organizes the work. In that situation, many working-time rules and the record obligation for ordinary and extraordinary working time and standby do not apply. Keep the written transfer with the employment file.
Yes. Separate labeling lets payroll apply the correct premium rule and lets managers count annual extraordinary working time. An employer may order up to 250 hours per calendar year, plus up to 150 additional voluntary overtime hours per year by written agreement with the employee, with prorating for partial-year, fixed-term, or part-time employment.
No. A weekly total alone omits the current start and end times that section 134 requires for ordinary work, extraordinary work, and standby duty actually performed. Daily detail also shows whether the 12 hours per day and 48 hours per week scheduled-working-time caps, with overtime included, need review.
Yes, with prior written notice. Hungarian Labour Code section 11/A permits employers to check work-related conduct and use technical means for that purpose only after giving written notice in advance. Inspection of IT equipment is limited to work-related data, and identifiable employee time data remains personal data under the GDPR. Use transparency, data minimization, storage limitation, and security controls for workplace monitoring systems.
Everhour Team Management lets admins set team working days and hours, weekly capacity, personal tracking limits, roles, project assignments, and team groups. Managers can approve or reject submitted time, lock approved periods, and correct entries for team members before payroll or billing review.
Everhour Reporting turns logged time, budgets, costs, and project data into configurable reports with columns, grouping, filters, date ranges, and formatting. Saved reports can be downloaded as CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF for spreadsheet checks, client sharing, or internal archive needs.
Use Everhour Team Management to set working days, capacity, limits, roles, approvals, and locked periods so Hungarian time records move from weekly cleanup to controlled payroll and billing review.
