A timesheet app in Spain should help you capture the concrete start and finish time of each worker's workday. Spain's Workers' Statute requires employers to guarantee a daily working-time record, while preserving flexible working-time arrangements. The record is for each worker, so a single team total or project total does not satisfy the practical job.
The working record also needs to last. 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. A weekly export, approved timesheet, or archived report should identify the worker, the date, the start time, the finish time, and any notes needed to explain corrections.
Spanish working-time records matter because they support limits and exceptions, not just payroll totals. 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.
Daily spacing also matters. At least 12 hours must pass between the end of one workday and the start of the next. Ordinary overtime may not exceed 80 hours per year, excluding urgent work to prevent or repair extraordinary damage. Overtime must be paid at no less than ordinary working time or compensated with equivalent paid rest; without an agreement, Spain treats it as rest within four months.
Working-time records in Spain identify individual workers, so GDPR and Spain's LOPDGDD apply. A compliant setup should collect the fields needed for attendance, payroll, billing, or working-time control, then restrict access to people who need the record. AEPD guidance points to minimization, purpose limitation, worker information rights, and security controls.
Monitoring features require extra care. Geolocation can be used for lawful work-control purposes only within legal limits and after clear prior notice to workers. AEPD says location tracking for time records should verify the start and end of work instead of continuously checking where the worker is. That distinction matters for remote, mobile, and field employees.
A simple timesheet is enough when you need one clean weekly record, a four-year archive, or a quick payroll review for a small team. It works best when schedules are stable, corrections are rare, and one person reviews each submission before it becomes the official record.
A managed workflow becomes necessary when tracked time feeds project reports, client billing, payroll review, or overtime monitoring across departments. Everhour can turn logged time, budgets, costs, and project data into customizable reports with columns, grouping, filters, date ranges, exports, and scheduled email delivery, so approved Spanish timesheet data can move into repeatable reporting.

Yes. Spain's Workers' Statute requires employers to guarantee a daily working-time record that includes each worker's concrete start and finish time. Employers must keep those records for four years and make them available to workers, worker representatives, and the Labour and Social Security Inspectorate.
A Spanish timesheet should identify the worker, work date, start time, finish time, total effective working time, and approval status. Teams also add project, client, location note, correction reason, and overtime category when those fields support payroll, billing, or working-time review.
Total daily hours alone leave out the concrete start and finish time required under Spain's working-time record rule. A total still helps payroll, but it should sit beside the start and finish entries so the record can show rest periods, daily limits, and later corrections.
Location tracking should be limited to a lawful work-control purpose, disclosed to workers in advance, and proportionate. AEPD guidance says geolocation for time records should verify the start and end of work instead of continuously checking a worker's location during the day.
Spanish overtime should be visible separately from ordinary effective working time because ordinary overtime is capped at 80 hours per year, excluding urgent work to prevent or repair extraordinary damage. The record should also show whether overtime is paid or compensated with equivalent paid rest.
Everhour Reporting turns logged time into customizable reports with 45+ columns, metadata filters, grouping, date ranges, and exports in CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF. Teams can review Spanish time records by person, project, client, billable status, and overtime visibility through Team Hours and custom reports.
Everhour Timesheets let users submit weekly project hours or working hours for review. Managers can approve, reject, or partially approve submitted time, and submitted or approved entries stay protected from regular member edits unless the workflow sends them back for correction.
Turn approved Spanish timesheets into recurring reports, exports, and payroll review files. Everhour Reporting gives teams structured visibility into hours, overtime, clients, and projects.
