Obligation to keep records of employees' daily working time deferred until 1 July 2024

The bill was introduced in continuation of the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union of 14 May 2019 in case C-55/18 (Deutsche Bank). The Court of Justice of the European Union establishes that member states are obliged to order employers to set up a system for keeping records of the individual employee's daily working hours. The purpose of the bill is to ensure that the employer complies with the rules of the Working Time Directive and the EU Charter on the right to daily and weekly rest periods and a maximum weekly working time of 48 hours.

Plesner's Employment and Labour Law team will be following the coming legislative work closely.
