You need a working-time record that shows each worker's concrete start and finish time for every workday in Spain. The record should make daily attendance, project work, breaks, overtime review, and approvals easy to check without mixing separate payroll, billing, and management notes into one unclear file.
Spanish employers must keep those records for four years and make them available to workers, worker representatives, and the Labour and Social Security Inspectorate. A practical setup gives managers a clean weekly view, while still preserving the daily entries needed for legal and payroll review.
A complete record starts with worker name, date, start time, finish time, total effective working time, project or cost center, approval status, and correction history. Teams that bill clients should add task, client, billable status, and notes that explain the work without exposing private employee details.
Spanish working-time rules make daily and annual views useful. Ordinary effective working time may not exceed 9 hours per day unless a collective agreement or worker-representative agreement sets another distribution, and at least 12 hours must pass between workdays. Ordinary overtime may not exceed 80 hours per year, with urgent work to prevent or repair extraordinary damage excluded from that cap.
Working-time records identify individual workers, so GDPR and Spain's LOPDGDD apply. The Spanish Data Protection Agency treats time records as personal-data processing, which means employers need a defined purpose, limited data collection, worker information rights, and appropriate security controls.
Geolocation needs extra discipline. Spanish guidance allows location data for lawful work-control purposes within legal limits, after clear prior notice to workers. For time records, location checks should verify the start and end of work rather than continuously checking where the worker is throughout the day.
A one-off weekly total works for a freelancer reconciling project hours or a manager checking a small batch of entries. It stops being enough when several people submit time, corrections happen after review, overtime needs year-to-date tracking, or payroll and billing teams need the same source record.
Everhour Team Management fits the durable workflow: admins can set lock rules, correct time for team members, define personal tracking limits, manage weekly capacity, and run approval workflows before time reaches payroll, billing, or reports. That structure turns daily Spanish records into a controlled process instead of a spreadsheet chase.

A Spanish working-time record should include the concrete start and finish time of each worker's workday. For operational use, add date, worker, total effective working time, project or cost center, approval status, and any correction history. Keep the record focused on working time rather than broad activity surveillance.
Yes. Spain's Workers' Statute requires employers to guarantee a daily working-time record with each worker's start and finish time. Employers must retain those records for four years and keep them available to workers, worker representatives, and the Labour and Social Security Inspectorate.
Managers should flag days above the ordinary 9-hour effective working-time limit unless a collective agreement or worker-representative agreement sets another distribution, short gaps that breach the 12-hour rest rule between workdays, and annual ordinary overtime approaching 80 hours. The weekly view should also support review against Spain's 40 hours of effective work per week on average over the annual reference period.
Yes, within legal limits. Employers must give clear prior notice and keep the use proportionate to the work-control purpose. AEPD guidance says location tracking for time records should verify clock-in and clock-out points rather than continuously monitoring the worker's location.
Spain uses the euro, so billing and cost fields should use EUR. Castilian Spanish is the official state language, and other Spanish languages can be co-official in their autonomous communities. Teams operating across regions should use labels and exports that workers and local reviewers can understand.
Everhour Team Management lets admins set lock rules, approve submitted time, correct entries for team members, set personal tracking limits, and manage weekly capacity. Those controls help teams keep Spanish daily records reviewed, protected from late edits, and ready for payroll or billing handoff.
Everhour Reporting turns logged time, costs, budgets, and project data into configurable reports with filters, grouping, date ranges, and exports in CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF. Managers can review time by person, project, client, or period without rebuilding the same spreadsheet each week.
Set time policies, approvals, and locked periods before records reach payroll or billing. Everhour gives teams controlled review workflows for accurate Spanish working-time records.
