Time recording Austria

Working time = obligation to keep records

Many HR cloud solutions for recording and managing working times come from abroad, predominantly from Germany. However, as the legal regulations in Austria are very far-reaching, they cannot be managed optimally. Personalwolke, on the other hand, specializes in Austrian working time laws and meets all requirements in the area of time recording.

Working Hours Act Austria

In Austria, normal working hours (excluding rest breaks) are 8 hours per day and 40 hours per week. If this time is exceeded, this is referred to as overtime. Depending on special agreements, employees may work up to 12 hours per day and 60 hours per week - however, they may not work more than 48 hours per week on a four-month average. Furthermore, labor law in Austria is very extensive and can be adapted in collective agreements/collective bargaining agreements/company agreements to cater even more specifically to individual employees and/or sectors.

Time recording Austria

The recording of working hours is required by law in Austria. The daily working hours, including all breaks, as well as absences and rest periods are recorded.

Important! The obligation to keep records applies to all companies with one or more employees. Compliance with the recording obligation is checked by the labor inspectorate. The more employees a company has, the more time-consuming time recording becomes. As there is no legally prescribed form of time recording, smaller companies still record time by hand or in Excel format. This can be due to different time models, special regulations, Vacation allotmentThe work of HR employees/supervisors is made more difficult by the many different types of work, such as the entry and exit of employees.

Digital time recording with personnel cloud

Personalwolke can help you to easily comply with the legally and/or contractually agreed requirements. The fact that we can store various hourly models and also store hourly, overtime and overtime rates means that payroll accounting is already prepared correctly. This reduces administrative work and manual errors. It is also possible to have the vacation days calculated aliquot via our system should there be a change of hourly model or the employee leaves the company. As the personnel cloud can be customized, we recommend that you make an appointment with our experts. This will enable us to work with you to put together the right package and make digitization easier for you.
