Use this page when you need a clear timesheet structure for employees, contractors, teams, or client work connected to Denmark. The immediate job is practical: record daily work, separate project time from general working hours, and produce a week that a manager, bookkeeper, or client can review without guessing. For Danish teams, the record also needs to respect the statutory working-time registration duty that took effect on July 1, 2024.
A useful Denmark timesheet shows the person, dates, daily totals, project or task labels, billable status, comments, approval status, and DKK billing details when the time feeds an invoice. The same record should also let an employee see their own registered working-time information. That access matters because Denmark's rule requires employee access to their own working-time records, not only a private employer archive.
Danish employers must use an objective, reliable, and accessible working-time registration system that can measure each individual employee's daily working time. A timesheet therefore needs daily entries, not only a monthly total. Start and end times, breaks, or total daily working time can support review, but the system must make the daily working-time measure clear enough to check the record later.
The wider working-time baseline comes from EU rules. Average weekly working time, including overtime, is limited to 48 hours per seven-day period, with a reference period that may not exceed four months for that calculation. Workers also receive at least 11 consecutive hours of daily rest in each 24-hour period, and a rest break applies when the working day is longer than six hours.
The biggest mistake is treating a Danish timesheet as a loose billing note. Billing notes answer what a client owes. Working-time records answer who worked on which day, for how long, and whether the employer can keep the record for review. Denmark requires registered working-time information to be kept for five years after the end of the period used to calculate the employee's average weekly working time.
A second mistake is collecting more employee data than the timesheet needs. Time records tied to identifiable workers are personal data under GDPR and the Danish Data Protection Act. A Danish implementation needs a lawful basis and must follow transparency, purpose limitation, data minimization, and storage limitation. Activity monitoring fields, screenshots, or location traces need a separate purpose and clear employee information.
A free timesheet works for a one-off week, a small client invoice, or a quick internal check. It gives you the structure to collect dates, daily hours, project labels, approval notes, and DKK amounts. It stops being enough when several people submit time, managers approve corrections, records need to stay locked, and payroll or billing teams need consistent weekly review.
A managed workflow keeps the record alive after entry. 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 or approved entries before payroll, billing, or reporting uses them. That workflow is useful when Denmark records need both employee access and a reliable approval trail.

Yes. Denmark's 2024 amendment to its working-time rules 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, and it must make it possible to measure each individual employee's daily working time.
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 workflow should preserve the reviewed record, not only the editable draft, because payroll, billing, and working-time checks often happen after the original week closes.
A practical Danish timesheet should show employee name, date, daily working time, project or task, billable status, comments, submission status, approval status, and correction history. DKK rates or totals belong in billing summaries when the timesheet feeds an invoice. Employee access to their own registered working-time information should be part of the setup.
No. Denmark allows an exception for self-arranging workers whose working time cannot be measured or predetermined because of the nature of the work, or who can determine their own working time. The employment contract must state that the working-time rules do not apply. Employers should document this category carefully instead of assuming seniority alone creates the exception.
A Denmark timesheet can include employee-identifiable time data only under GDPR and the Danish Data Protection Act requirements. The employer needs a lawful basis and must follow transparency, purpose limitation, data minimization, and storage limitation. Basic time entry is different from intrusive monitoring, so extra activity data needs a clear and limited reason.
Everhour Timesheets collect weekly project hours and working hours by person, so managers can review time before payroll, billing, or reporting. Users submit time for approval, and managers can approve, reject, partially approve, and lock entries after review.
Use structured weekly approvals instead of loose hour totals. Everhour gives teams submitted, reviewed, and locked timesheets that support payroll and billing review.
