Why traditional systems do not work
Paper and spreadsheet records can be altered and are not audit-proof
Regulations require records that cannot be modified after the fact. A spreadsheet cell is editable. Our records are not.
Inspectors increasingly demand real-time access to records
Labor inspectors can request time records at any time. A compliant digital system means you are always ready.
Fines for non-compliance can be significant
In Spain, fines reach €10,000 per employee. Even in jurisdictions with lower fines, non-compliance is a legal and reputational risk.
