Danish employers need timesheet software when work hours must be recorded by person, day, project, and sometimes client. From 1 July 2024, Denmark's amended working-time rules require employers to keep working-time records. The system must make it possible to measure each individual employee's daily working time in an objective, reliable, and accessible way.
The practical goal is a record you can review later without reconstructing the week from chat messages or calendar blocks. A useful setup gives employees access to their own registered working-time information and keeps records for five years after the end of the period used to calculate the employee's average weekly working time.
A Danish timesheet should identify the employee, date, start and end time or daily total, breaks where tracked, project, task, client, and approval status. Teams that bill clients also need billable and non-billable categories, rate context, invoice notes, and currency support in Danish krone. Those fields turn time records into usable payroll, billing, and management data.
Working-time review also needs enough detail to spot pressure points. EU working-time rules limit average weekly working time, including overtime, to 48 hours per seven-day period, using a reference period that may not exceed four months for that calculation. Daily records also help managers review the 11 consecutive hours of daily rest required in each 24-hour period.
Denmark's rule includes 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. Treat that as a documented worker-category decision, rather than a general exemption for senior or remote staff.
Employee time records tied to identifiable workers are personal data. Danish systems must fit GDPR and the Danish Data Protection Act, including transparency, purpose limitation, data minimization, and storage limitation. Basic time entry is different from intrusive monitoring, so keep the fields tied to a clear work purpose and avoid collecting activity data that the team does not need.
A one-off sheet works for a small team that needs a weekly total, a simple export, or a quick invoice backup. It starts to fail when managers need approvals, locked periods, client-level views, recurring budgets, and a clean handoff to finance. Danish teams also need a consistent way to keep employee-accessible records for the required retention period.
Everhour supports that managed workflow by connecting tracked time to Project Budgeting. Teams can set hour-based or money-based budgets, use recurring budget periods, receive threshold alerts, and apply client-level budgets across multiple projects. That gives project managers a budget view while the underlying time records stay organized for review.

Denmark's 2024 amendment to its working-time rules took effect on 1 July 2024 and introduced a statutory duty for employers to keep working-time records. Employers need a system that can measure each individual employee's daily working time in an objective, reliable, and accessible way.
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 system should preserve the record, approval status, and employee-level detail for that retention window.
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.
Time records connected to identifiable employees are personal data. Danish employers need a lawful basis and must follow GDPR principles, including transparency, purpose limitation, data minimization, and storage limitation. The safest setup collects the time fields needed for work records, billing, payroll, and management review.
Danish-market workflows commonly need Danish-language support and DKK currency handling. Those settings matter when employees review their own records, managers approve time, and finance turns tracked project hours into invoices or budget reports for Danish clients.
Everhour Project Budgeting connects tracked time to hour-based or money-based budgets. Teams can use recurring budget periods, set threshold alerts at 75%, 90%, 100%, or a custom level, and manage client-level budgets across multiple projects.
Everhour can track time inside supported tools such as Asana, ClickUp, GitHub, Linear, Jira, Monday, Notion, Trello, and Basecamp. Teams keep work in their project tool while tracked time flows into one reporting layer for budgets and billing.
Track daily time, review budgets, and keep client work ready for billing. Everhour connects tracked hours to project budgets, alerts, and client-level budget control.
