Use this page to structure weekly work records for employees, contractors, or client-facing teams in Hungary. Hungarian Labour Code section 134 requires employers to record ordinary working time, extraordinary working time, standby duty, leave, and certain agreed voluntary overtime. A usable record separates those categories instead of leaving every entry as one undifferentiated total.
The record should support the job you need to finish: checking attendance, approving overtime, preparing client bills, or reviewing payroll inputs. Hungary's general full daily working time is eight hours, and scheduled working time is generally capped at twelve hours per day and forty-eight hours per week, with overtime included in those limits. Accurate daily entries make those checks practical.
A strong Hungarian time record identifies the worker, date, project or task, ordinary working time, extraordinary working time, standby duty, and leave. The working-time record must show current start and end times for ordinary work, extraordinary work, and standby duty actually performed. A daily entry such as "Support desk, 9:00 to 17:30, 30-minute break, ordinary time" gives payroll and managers a usable trail.
Project teams should add client, task, billable status, comments, and approval status when the same hours feed invoices or budgets. Payroll teams should keep time-off and standby categories visible because those entries affect review differently from ordinary project work. A record that only says "8 hours" loses the timing and category detail required for a defensible review.
Hungary allows an employer to order up to 250 hours of extraordinary working time per calendar year, plus up to 150 additional voluntary overtime hours per year by written agreement with the employee. Records should separate ordered overtime from voluntary overtime agreements, with prorating handled for partial-year, fixed-term, or part-time employment.
Overtime beyond scheduled daily working time, a working-time frame, or a settlement period carries a 50% wage supplement or equivalent time off if employment rules or an agreement allow it. Weekly rest day or rest period overtime carries a 100% premium, reduced to 50% if another weekly rest day or rest period is provided. Public holiday overtime carries a 100% premium.
A free one-off record works for a small weekly check, a single contractor summary, or a quick internal reconciliation. It becomes weak when several people track across projects, managers need approvals, or payroll and billing need the same data. Hungary also treats employee time records that identify workers as personal data under the GDPR, so storage, access, and monitoring practices need clear limits.
Everhour Time Tracking fits the managed workflow: people use timers or manual entries against tasks and projects, managers review submitted time, and admins can lock periods, send reminders, configure timer behavior, and approve timesheets before payroll or billing. That workflow turns current time entries into a repeatable record instead of a spreadsheet rebuilt every week.

Yes. Hungarian Labour Code section 134 requires current records of the start and end time of ordinary work, extraordinary work, and standby duty actually performed. A daily total alone does not carry the same detail because it omits the timing needed to check schedules, overtime, standby duty, and payroll review.
Yes, in a specific case. If the employer transfers scheduling rights to the employee in writing because the employee independently organizes the work, many working-time rules and the record obligation for ordinary and extraordinary working time and standby do not apply. The written transfer matters because informal flexibility does not create the exception.
Keep ordinary time, extraordinary working time, weekly rest day or rest period overtime, public holiday overtime, standby duty, and leave separate. The categories matter because Hungary uses different premium rules, including a 50% supplement or equivalent time off for some overtime and a 100% premium for public holiday overtime.
Yes, but Hungarian Labour Code section 11/A requires prior written notice before an employer checks work-related conduct with technical means. Inspection of IT equipment is limited to work-related data. Employee time data that identifies workers is also personal data under the GDPR, so the employer needs a lawful basis, transparency, minimization, storage limits, and security.
Hungary's official EU language is Hungarian and its currency is the Hungarian forint, HUF. Internal reports can use the language and format your team understands, but client-facing or payroll-adjacent records should make amounts, dates, names, and approval trails clear for the people who review them locally.
Everhour Time Tracking captures task and project hours through live timers or manual entries, then feeds those entries 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 downstream.
Everhour Reporting turns logged time, budgets, costs, and project data into configurable reports with columns, grouping, filters, date ranges, and exports to CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF. Managers can separate project, client, member, billable time, labor cost, and invoice status fields when reviewing work across Hungarian teams.
Move beyond weekly totals with Everhour Time Tracking. Capture task and project time, approve timesheets, lock reviewed periods, and send clean records into billing, reporting, and payroll review.
