Building compliant working-time records

Create payroll-ready weekly records

A Hungarian timesheet should help you collect the hours a person actually worked, the project or work category tied to those hours, and the manager decision that approves or corrects the record. For payroll work, the output needs more than a weekly total. It needs a clear trail from daily entries to weekly approval.

Hungarian Labour Code section 134 requires employers to record ordinary working time, extraordinary working time, standby duty, leave, and certain agreed voluntary overtime. The record must stay current and show start and end times for ordinary work, extraordinary work, and standby duty actually performed. A usable timesheet workflow therefore starts with daily time capture, not a Friday memory exercise.

Capture the required categories

A practical Hungarian timesheet separates ordinary working time from extraordinary working time, standby duty, and leave. That separation matters because different categories drive different payroll and scheduling checks. The general full daily working time under the Hungarian Labour Code is eight hours, while scheduled working time is generally capped at twelve hours per day and forty-eight hours per week, with overtime included in those limits.

A clean entry names the employee, date, start time, end time, break or nonworking period if your policy tracks it, work category, project or cost center, and approval status. For example, a consulting entry can show Tuesday, 09:00 to 17:30, client implementation, ordinary working time, with 30 minutes unpaid break handled under the employer's policy. The record should make the payroll treatment visible without forcing accounting staff to infer it.

Handle Hungary-specific edge cases

Hungary has a narrow unbound work schedule exception. If the employer transfers scheduling rights to the employee in writing because the employee independently organizes the work, many working-time rules and the ordinary working-time record obligation do not apply. Treat that as a documented worker classification decision, not a timesheet preference.

Overtime records need extra care. An employer may order up to 250 hours of extraordinary working time per calendar year, plus up to 150 additional voluntary overtime hours per year by written agreement with the employee, with prorating for partial-year, fixed-term, or part-time employment. Overtime beyond scheduled daily working time, a working-time frame, or a settlement period generally carries a 50% wage supplement or equivalent time off if allowed by employment rules or agreement.

Move from sheets to workflow

A one-off spreadsheet is enough for a small correction, a contractor summary, or a short internal review. It stops working once managers need current start and end times, multiple work categories, recurring approvals, locked periods, and a defensible payroll handoff. Hungary's working-time record duty rewards consistency because late reconstruction weakens the record.

Everhour Timesheets support that managed workflow by collecting weekly project hours and working hours by person. Employees can submit time for review, and managers can approve, reject, partially approve, or request corrections before payroll or billing uses the data. Submitted and approved time can stay locked, which helps keep the approved record stable after review.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Hungary require employers to keep timesheet records?

Hungarian Labour Code section 134 requires employers to keep current records of ordinary working time, extraordinary working time, standby duty, leave, and certain agreed voluntary overtime. The record must show the start and end time of ordinary work, extraordinary work, and standby duty actually performed. The unbound work schedule exception applies only when the employer has transferred scheduling rights to the employee in writing.

Which daily details should a Hungarian timesheet show?

A Hungarian timesheet should show the employee, date, start time, end time, work category, leave or standby status where relevant, project or cost center, and approval status. The key legal detail is current start and end times for ordinary work, extraordinary work, and standby duty actually performed, since weekly totals alone do not satisfy that recordkeeping shape.

How should overtime be separated in Hungarian timesheets?

Overtime should appear as extraordinary working time, separate from ordinary scheduled work and standby duty. Hungary allows up to 250 ordered overtime hours per calendar year, plus up to 150 additional voluntary overtime hours by written agreement with the employee, with prorating for partial-year, fixed-term, or part-time employment. Separate categories help payroll check limits and apply the correct supplement or time-off treatment.

Can employee monitoring be built into a timesheet system in Hungary?

Hungarian Labour Code section 11/A permits employers to check work-related conduct and use technical means only with prior written notice. Inspection of IT equipment is limited to work-related data. Employee time records that identify workers are personal data under the GDPR, so the system needs a lawful basis, transparency, data minimization, storage limits, security, and employment-context safeguards.

Which timesheet mistake creates the biggest payroll risk in Hungary?

The highest-risk mistake is recording only total daily or weekly hours when start and end times are required for ordinary work, extraordinary work, and standby duty actually performed. That shortcut hides whether scheduled caps, overtime categories, standby duty, and leave records were handled correctly. Late reconstruction also makes manager approval less reliable.

How does Everhour Timesheets support payroll and billing review?

Everhour Timesheets collect weekly project hours and working hours by person, so managers can review time before payroll, billing, or reporting. Employees submit time for approval, and managers can approve, reject, partially approve, or request corrections while submitted and approved time stays protected from regular member edits.

How can Everhour help teams keep time records organized across projects?

Everhour can run standalone or inside tools such as Asana, ClickUp, GitHub, Jira, Monday, Notion, Trello, and Basecamp. Tracked task and project time flows into one reporting layer, giving managers a clearer view of billable work, internal work, and project totals.

Turn timesheets into approvals

Collect weekly work records, review submissions, and lock approved time before payroll or billing. Everhour Timesheets gives teams a steadier approval workflow for Hungary-focused time records.
