A Spanish employer needs more than a weekly total. Spain's Workers' Statute requires a daily working-time record that includes each worker's concrete start and finish time. The record must exist for each workday, including flexible arrangements, remote work, and split schedules. A useful record shows who worked, which date they worked, the start time, the finish time, breaks if the team records them separately, and the project or cost category.
Spanish employers must keep working-time records for four years and keep them available to workers, worker representatives, and the Labour and Social Security Inspectorate. That retention rule changes the job from casual time entry to a records process. You need entries that a payroll reviewer can understand months later, with corrections documented and approved periods protected from casual edits.
Spain's ordinary working-time rules make daily detail 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. At least 12 hours must pass between the end of one workday and the start of the next.
Overtime review also needs a year-to-date view. Ordinary overtime in Spain may not exceed 80 hours per year, excluding urgent work to prevent or repair extraordinary damage. 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.
Working-time records identify individual workers, so GDPR and Spain's LOPDGDD apply. AEPD treats these records as personal-data processing governed by minimization, purpose limitation, worker information rights, and security controls. A clean setup collects the time data needed for labor, payroll, billing, and scheduling purposes, then restricts access to people who have a work reason to review it.
Monitoring features need tighter judgment than basic time entry. Employers may use geolocation for lawful work-control purposes only within legal limits and after clear prior notice to workers. AEPD guidance says location tracking for time records should verify the start and end of work rather than continuously checking where the worker is. That distinction matters for remote, mobile, field, and client-site teams.
A one-off weekly total can help a freelancer check hours or help a manager reconcile a single pay period. It is enough when no one else must approve the entries, no annual overtime balance is needed, and the record does not feed billing, payroll, or client reports. It breaks down once the team needs consistent start and finish records across people, projects, and locations.
A managed workflow connects daily entries to approvals, locks, corrections, capacity, and exports. Everhour Team Management supports lock rules, admin time correction, personal tracking limits, weekly capacity, approval workflow, roles, project assignments, team groups, and team-wide time policy defaults. That structure helps teams turn daily time records into a repeatable review process before billing or payroll handoff.

Yes. Spain's Workers' Statute requires employers to guarantee a daily working-time record showing each worker's concrete start and finish time. The rule preserves flexible working-time arrangements, but flexibility does not remove the recordkeeping duty. Employers must keep those records for four years and make them available to workers, worker representatives, and the Labour and Social Security Inspectorate.
Time records should help review the 40-hour maximum ordinary working week averaged over the annual reference period, the 9-hour ordinary daily limit unless an agreement sets another distribution, and the 12-hour rest period between workdays. They should also help track ordinary overtime against Spain's 80-hour annual cap.
The time record should separate ordinary hours, overtime hours, and any later compensation decision. In Spain, overtime must be paid at no less than the value of ordinary working time or compensated with equivalent paid rest. If no agreement says otherwise, overtime is treated as compensated by rest within four months.
Continuous location tracking creates risk when the purpose is only to verify working time. AEPD guidance says geolocation for time records should verify the start and end of work rather than continuously checking the worker's location. Employers also need clear prior notice and a lawful work-control purpose within GDPR and LOPDGDD limits.
Yes. Spain uses the euro, and Castilian Spanish is the official state language. Other Spanish languages can be co-official in their autonomous communities. A practical setup uses language, currency, date, and project labels that payroll, managers, workers, and worker representatives can understand without translation work during review.
Everhour Team Management lets admins set lock rules, correct time for team members, define personal tracking limits, assign roles, group teams, and approve submitted time before payroll or billing review. Those controls help keep daily records consistent after entries move from draft time to reviewed time.
Everhour supports weekly capacity per team member, so managers can compare planned work, tracked project hours, working hours, and time off. That capacity view helps teams spot overloaded schedules before approved hours flow into reports, invoices, or payroll review.
Set daily tracking rules, review submitted time, lock approved periods, and keep Spanish team workflows organized with Everhour Team Management.
