Digitalising working time records: a challenge and an opportunity for SMEs.

The new Royal Decree approved by the Council of Ministers requires companies to introduce digital working time records that the Labour Inspectorate can access remotely. According to Wolters Kluwer’s 2025 Advisory Services Barometer, only 25% of SMEs currently have suitable digital tools, while 74% still record working hours manually or in Excel.

This creates an immediate challenge: companies must adapt within 20 days of the decree’s publication while ensuring the authenticity, traceability and protection of their employees’ data.

From our perspective as a technology solutions provider, this change is not only a legal requirement but also an opportunity for SMEs to progress with their digital transformation. Automating working time management makes it possible to:

– Improve the organisation of working time.
– Reduce errors and the risk of non-compliance.
– Support decision-making with accurate and accessible data.

Our commitment is to provide accessible, secure and scalable tools that support companies throughout this transition, helping them comply with the regulations and improve operational efficiency.
