The German Federal Labor Court (BAG) issued a landmark ruling in September 2022. According to this ruling, every employer must record the working hours of its employees. Keyword: time recording. Employers must offer their employees an "objective, reliable and accessible system" with which they can measure their working hours. Now, all businesses have an obligation. So companies that are looking into implementing a modern, digital time tracking program are on the safe side. The brixxbox time tracking app is a flexible, simple solution to meet this verdict.

Who must document the daily working time? According to § 16 ArbZG, "the employer is ... obliged to record the working time of employees exceeding the working day working time of § 3 sentence 1 and to keep a list of employees who have consented to an extension of the working time ... have consented to the extension of working hours. The records shall be kept for at least two years." Thus, initially, the employer must only ensure that all overtime hours worked by its employees are recorded. However, the daily and weekly overtime hours can only be recorded if the normal working hours are also precisely documented.

An ERP system is not mandatory - but offers many advantages. The exchange of data is also possible to other database systems. However, the special feature of the brixxbox Time Recording App is that it was created with brixxbox Genesis - a low code technology that makes it possible to develop all imaginable applications with a simple configuration interface. Therefore, the software can be used as a standalone application. However, if you want to integrate it into an ERP system later on, this is also possible without any problems. 

Digital time tracking programs are designed to record an employee's daily working hours. The program clocks the employee in and out at the beginning and end of their shift. This information can be used to calculate how many hours the employee worked during their shift. The data can also be used to track the employee's productivity over time. Thanks to the cloud, time tracking can be done online from anywhere - no special devices or complex installations required. While your employees operate the app in the field, all the data ends up in real time on your PC in the office. This allows you to keep track of target and overtime hours as well as break times.

We would be happy to present the time tracking app to you free of charge in a video session, e.g. via Microsoft Teams, and clarify any questions you may have. It is best to book a demonstration directly.
