Workday Registration - Registration again
Workday Registration ... Registration again
In the last 50/2016 circular of December 28, we informed of the instructions that the labor inspector had received to pursue the extra hours and demand that the companies register the day of their workers. The instructions state that the registration of the working day must guarantee the reliability and the invariability of the data.
Whenever the company uses electronic or computer means in which the worker has to use a magnetic or similar card, or his fingerprint, it seems that the reliability or invariability of the recorded data would be guaranteed, but the problem is when the registration is manual , on paper, in which case the inspector could require that the worker's signature support the case in each case the time of entry and exit of the work recorded in the register.
Our recommendation, therefore, is that if a manual or paper record is used, the worker must have the daily work record signed, both at the entrance and at the exit of the work center.
Recall that the company must prove that it has delivered to each of its workers a summary of the work schedule of each period coinciding with the payment of the payroll, from which time the company will no longer be obliged to keep the daily record of that period.
