It's common to think time tracking is only for consultants and hourly staff. In Norway and Finland, the law applies to salaried office staff too. We´ll go through what that means for you and give you a first look at Huma Time.

Key details:
Ask around and you'll hear the same answer: time tracking is for consultants who bill by the hour and for shift workers. The law sees it differently. In Norway for example, the employer must keep an overview of how much each employee works. That includes the sales manager on a fixed salary and the developer working from home.
Most find out when the labour inspectorate asks to see the records. This episode makes sure you hear it from Silje first.
Record the hours. Stay within the limits. Show the records when someone asks. That's the short version. Norway, Sweden and Finland each put it a little differently, and Silje walks you through all three.
A spreadsheet can do the job, as long as it's reliable. The trouble starts when nobody can say who worked too much last month.
