What has been announced?
Official federal communication states that from 2027 employers must have a simple and flexible system for working time registration. The concrete implementing conditions may still be adjusted.
This page therefore deliberately avoids a definitive interpretation of the future rules. We describe what is known today and how a company can prepare in practice.
European principles for a workable system
Under European principles, a working time registration system is expected to be:
- objective
- reliable
- accessible
- verifiable
No traditional time clock required
Time registration does not necessarily have to happen through a traditional time clock. Digital registration through an app and QR codes can offer a practical solution, depending on the final legal conditions.
For companies with mobile workers, changing sites or several branches, a fixed time clock is rarely workable. Recording on the place of work is closer to reality.
Why prepare now?
- configure employees and locations
- agree on internal rules
- inform employees correctly
- apply privacy rules
- test reporting
- align the export to the payroll office
- resolve errors before the final obligation applies
- train the people in charge
- define who may make corrections

Digital follow-up instead of loose documents
A digital registration system makes it easier to find, verify and discuss recorded work with employees.
Corrections remain visible, so it is clear what was changed and by whom.
