A Spain-focused timesheet should help you record each worker's workday in a practical format: date, worker, start time, finish time, breaks or nonworking time where your policy tracks them, project or cost center, and approval status. Spain's Workers' Statute requires a daily working-time record with the concrete start and finish time of each worker's workday.
The record also needs to stay available after payroll closes. Spanish employers must keep working-time records for four years and make them available to workers, worker representatives, and the Labour and Social Security Inspectorate. A timesheet that only produces a weekly total leaves you short of the daily detail Spain requires.
Spanish timesheet review should flag working-time patterns before payroll or billing turns them into disputes. The maximum ordinary working time in Spain 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 rest also belongs in the review workflow. 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.
Working-time records identify individual workers, so Spain treats them as personal-data processing under GDPR and LOPDGDD. AEPD guidance points employers toward minimization, purpose limitation, worker information rights, and security controls. A clean timesheet collects the time data needed for work control, payroll, billing, and recordkeeping without adding surveillance fields that have no defined purpose.
Geolocation needs special care. Employers may use geolocation for lawful work-control purposes 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 rather than continuously checking where the worker is. That distinction matters for field teams, mobile staff, and remote work policies.
A free timesheet is enough when you need a one-off weekly record, a simple audit trail for a small team, or a quick export for payroll review. It should still preserve daily start and finish times, approvals, and any notes that explain corrections. Spain uses the euro, so client-facing billable records should also keep rates and invoice support in EUR.
A managed workflow becomes useful once time affects budgets, client billing, payroll review, or recurring work. Everhour Project Budgeting tracks hour-based and money-based budgets as people log time, supports recurring budget periods, and can send threshold alerts at 75%, 90%, 100%, or custom levels. That turns approved time from a static record into budget control.

Yes. Spain's Workers' Statute requires employers to guarantee a daily working-time record that includes the concrete start and finish time of each worker's workday. A weekly total alone does not provide the required daily record, even when the team uses flexible working-time arrangements.
Spanish employers must keep working-time records available to workers, worker representatives, and the Labour and Social Security Inspectorate. The retention period is four years. A practical system should keep approved records searchable by person, date, team, and period so requests do not require rebuilding old payroll files.
A Spain timesheet should separate ordinary working time from overtime and keep annual overtime visible. 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.
Yes, within legal limits. Employers may use geolocation for lawful work-control purposes after clear prior notice to workers, but AEPD guidance treats continuous location checking differently from verifying clock-in and clock-out points. A timesheet should record the time event you need, not continuous movement data by default.
Collecting more worker data than the timesheet needs creates avoidable risk. Working-time records are personal data under GDPR and Spain's LOPDGDD. Employers should define the purpose, limit fields to that purpose, tell workers how the data is used, and protect access to the records.
Everhour Project Budgeting connects logged time to hour-based or money-based project budgets, including one-time or recurring budget periods. Teams can set budget alerts at 75%, 90%, 100%, or custom thresholds, so approved Spanish timesheet data also helps control client work and internal spending.
Use approved timesheets as the source for project budgets, recurring limits, and billing decisions. Everhour turns tracked hours into budget visibility, alerts, and cleaner client work control.
