Working time registration

Since 1 July 2024, Danish employers must operate an objective, reliable and accessible system that records each employee's daily working time. The requirement follows from the amendment to the Danish Working Time Act implementing EU Court of Justice case law, and it must make it possible to verify the 48-hour rule and rest period rules. The records must be kept for 5 years, and employees must be able to access their own data. So-called self-organisers can be exempted, but the exemption is narrow and must be stated in the employment contract.
