Your practical job is to capture each employee's working day with enough detail to support payroll, overtime review, and employee access requests. Czech Labour Code Section 96 requires per-employee records showing the beginning and end of worked shifts, overtime work, night work, work during on-call time, and on-call time held.
A useful setup records the start time, end time, break context, project or cost center, employee name, date, and approval status. The record also needs to survive review. Employees in Czechia may request inspection of their working-time records, working-time account, and wage account, and may obtain extracts or copies at the employer's expense.
A daily record should separate working time from paid or unpaid absence, break time, on-call time, and overtime. Czechia's standard weekly working time is 40 hours, with reduced statutory weekly limits of 37.5 hours for underground mining and multi-shift or continuous operations and 38.75 hours for two-shift operations.
Managers need records that show more than a weekly total. A timesheet that says 40 hours for the week does not show whether a 30-minute meal and rest break followed no more than 6 hours of continuous work, or no more than 4.5 hours for juvenile employees. Daily start and end times make that review possible.
Czech overtime tracking needs a separate category because employer-ordered overtime is permitted only exceptionally for serious operational reasons. It may not exceed 8 hours in any individual week or 150 hours in a calendar year for an employee. Total overtime also may not average more than 8 hours per week over the permitted balancing period.
Payroll review needs the compensation choice attached to the record. For overtime, employees are entitled to earned wages plus a premium of at least 25% of average earnings unless the employer and employee agree to compensatory time off for the overtime worked. A clean time record shows the hours first, then payroll applies the correct treatment.
A free or one-off time sheet is enough for a short CZK invoice, a solo contractor's weekly log, or a quick internal check. It breaks down when several employees submit time, managers need approvals, records need corrections, and payroll needs a locked version of the week rather than a spreadsheet that keeps changing.
A managed workflow fits recurring Czech employment records better. Everhour Timesheets collect weekly project hours and working hours by person, then let users submit time for review. Managers can approve, reject, partially approve, and lock submitted time before payroll, billing, or reporting uses it.

Yes. Czech Labour Code Section 96 requires employers to keep per-employee records showing the beginning and end of worked shifts, overtime work, night work, work performed during on-call time, and on-call time held. A compliant workflow needs daily time detail, not only a final weekly total.
Worked shifts, overtime work, night work, work during on-call time, and on-call time held need records showing their beginning and end. A useful system keeps those categories distinct so payroll and HR can review ordinary work, exceptional overtime, night work, and on-call obligations without guessing from comments.
Start with the employee's recorded daily and weekly hours, then isolate overtime from standard working time. Employer-ordered overtime in Czechia is exceptional and capped at 8 hours in any individual week and 150 hours in a calendar year. Payroll then applies wages plus at least a 25% premium unless compensatory time off was agreed.
Basic time entry and approval differ from surveillance-style monitoring. Czech Labour Code Section 316 restricts workplace surveillance, call recording, email checks, and checking employee-addressed mail unless a serious reason exists based on the special nature of the employer's activity. Direct notice of scope and methods is required when those controls are introduced.
Employee time records that identify a worker are personal-data processing under GDPR principles, including lawfulness, transparency, purpose limitation, data minimization, storage limitation, and security. Czech Act No. 110/2019 applies GDPR-based processing rules in Czechia, so time records need a clear purpose and controlled access.
Everhour Timesheets collect weekly project hours and working hours by person, then let employees submit time for approval. Managers can approve, reject, partially approve, and lock submitted entries, giving payroll or billing a reviewed record instead of an editable spreadsheet.
Everhour can track time inside supported tools such as Asana, ClickUp, GitHub, Linear, Jira, Monday, Notion, Trello, and Basecamp. Tracked time flows into one reporting layer, so managers can review project hours without collecting separate exports from each workspace.
Track approved hours in Everhour Timesheets, lock reviewed entries, and give payroll or billing a clear weekly record connected to Everhour's approval workflow.
