A timesheet app in Denmark should help you record each employee's daily working time, not only weekly totals. Denmark's 2024 working-time amendment took effect on July 1, 2024 and introduced a statutory duty for employers to keep working-time records. The system must be objective, reliable, and accessible, which means entries need a clear source, date, person, and work period.
The practical job is simple: collect daily working time in a format that payroll, managers, and employees can review later. A Danish employer also needs employee access to the employee's own registered working-time information and five-year retention after the end of the period used to calculate average weekly working time. A one-off spreadsheet breaks down when revisions, approvals, and access requests start piling up.
Danish timesheets sit inside the wider EU working-time framework. Average weekly working time, including overtime, is limited to 48 hours per seven-day period, using a reference period that may not exceed four months for this calculation. Daily rest also matters: EU rules require at least 11 consecutive hours of rest in each 24-hour period.
Break tracking needs context, not just a checkbox. EU rules require a rest break when the workday is longer than six hours, with the break's duration and terms set by collective agreements or national law. A useful timesheet separates hours actually worked from absence, travel, breaks, and corrections so the person reviewing the record can see the basis for every total.
Employee time records tied to identifiable workers are personal data in Denmark. A timesheet app should support GDPR and the Danish Data Protection Act by limiting collection to necessary work-time data, explaining the purpose of tracking, and restricting access to people who need the information for payroll, scheduling, billing, or compliance review.
Denmark-specific operations also need local usability. Danish-market teams commonly need Danish-language workflows and Danish krone support for billing or cost reporting. The self-arranging worker exception also needs careful handling: Denmark allows an exception for employees whose working time cannot be measured or predetermined, or who determine their own working time, where the employment contract states that the working-time rules do not apply.
A free one-off timesheet is enough when you need to total a small week, prepare a simple internal review, or clean up a short client job in DKK. That approach works best when one person owns the file, the entries are recent, and no employee access, approval trail, or long retention process is needed beyond a clearly saved record.
A managed workflow fits better when multiple employees track time across projects, managers approve periods, and finance needs reliable 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 keep daily time records usable after the week closes.

Yes. Since July 1, 2024, Danish employers have had a statutory duty to keep working-time records under Denmark's amended working-time rules. A compliant setup must let the employer measure each individual employee's daily working time through a system that is objective, reliable, and accessible.
Danish employers must keep registered working-time information for five years after the end of the period used to calculate the employee's average weekly working time. A timesheet app should preserve records after payroll closes, because later access, audit, or dispute review depends on the retained history.
Employees must be able to access their own registered working-time information under Denmark's working-time registration rule. A practical app should separate personal employee access from manager and admin access, so each person sees the records needed for review without exposing unrelated team data.
No. Denmark's exception applies to employees whose working time cannot be measured or predetermined because of the nature of the work, or who can determine their own working time, where the employment contract states that the working-time rules do not apply. The contract and work pattern both matter.
Collecting more activity data than the work-time purpose requires creates avoidable risk. Employee time records tied to identifiable workers are personal data, so Danish systems must follow GDPR principles including transparency, purpose limitation, data minimization, and storage limitation under the GDPR and Danish Data Protection Act.
Everhour Team Management lets admins set lock rules, correct team member time, apply personal tracking limits, manage weekly capacity, approve timesheets, assign roles, and group teams. Those controls help managers close a period before payroll, billing, or compliance review uses the records.
Everhour can connect tracked time to reporting, budgets, and invoicing, with DKK available as the team's default currency setting. Teams can review project hours, turn approved records into client-facing billing data, and keep the time source connected to the invoice workflow.
Track daily working time, approvals, roles, and locked periods in one workflow. Everhour Team Management gives Danish teams cleaner records for payroll, billing, and review.
