What does the law actually say?

Section 10-7 of the Working Environment Act is brief. Employers must keep track of how much each employee works. This also applies to employees with a fixed salary and regular office hours. The employer must be able to present this record to the Labor Inspection Authority, employee representatives, and the employee themselves.

Does this requirement apply to those of us who receive a fixed salary?

Yes. This obligation applies regardless of the form of compensation. The exception is executive and particularly independent positions.

Does Huma ensure that we follow the law?

Huma provides you with an overview of each employee's hours, and employees can view their own. How you follow up on this overview remains the employer's responsibility.

We're already using Huma to track absences. Do we have to set everything up again?

No. Employees, managers, and work schedules are already there. Just add your daily hours, and you're all set.

Time Tracking System for SMBs That Follows the Law

The law is being followed

You are required by law to keep track of how much your employees work. This also applies to those with a fixed salary and regular office hours. Fortunately, it becomes much easier when you have time tracking built right into your HR system.

Expected and Actual Hours

Are your employees working more than they should? Expected and actual hours rarely match, so it's best to catch overtime early so you can do something about it.

No more juggling between systems

What do HR and time tracking have in common? They both have a huge impact on your people. So there’s no reason why you and your people should have to juggle different systems to do something that can be done in one place.

The Excel Dance Is Over

There's a lot to go through every month when every employee has their own Excel spreadsheet for tracking hours. With a dedicated time-tracking system, you can export the hours automatically, without any extra work.

It becomes more difficult to complete tasks when you have to switch back and forth between systems. In Huma, you can handle your HR tasks, absence and time tracking without switching between systems.

With time tracking and absence tracking in Huma, you can easily keep track of how much your employees work, both now and in the past. This makes it easier to see who’s working too much and might need a break, or who kept the shop running during last year’s Christmas break, so they don’t have to do it again this year.

Overview of hours and absence per employee over time in Huma
