Considerations and Implications on the new Time Registration Regulations
The idea of registering employees’ working hours is something many are fond of – others not so much. There are those who regard the requirement for time registration as limiting flexibility. In addition, companies worry about increased control and monitoring of employees.
It is impossible to avoid an increased administration costs when introducing a time registration system. In addition, of course, it takes time to introduce an organizational behavioral change that everyone has to get used to. For this reason, it is important to acquire a system that is easy to navigate.
Regardless, this is an obvious opportunity for workers to find out if they are actually working more hours than they are being paid for. As mentioned, a flexible working model prevails in Denmark, where employees are not always working from 8 am to 4 pm. The extra hours spent in front of the computer in the evening can easily add up and cause them to work overtime. Time registration provides a basis for a fact-based dialogue with managers and colleagues about this very thing.
Having said that, there are very few people in Denmark who work to the extend that they do not meet the requirements for rest periods.
