Why time registration can be useful
With a time registration system, you get a clear overview of the hours worked, overtime, absences and recuperation. This helps ensure correct pay calculation and helps you comply with labour law.
Time registration also benefits your workers. They can check which hours have been recorded and have an objective overview of their performances.
Why start time registration now?
You do not have to wait until the new regulations are finalised to start time registration. Even now, a good system offers many advantages: better insight into performances, smoother pay calculation, less administration and improved monitoring of working hours.
Which solution suits your organisation best depends on your needs.
That is why Securex integrates time registration into the tools you already use today, such as Officient and HR Accent. If you need more advanced planning and registration options, you can rely on CrewPlanner or one of our specialised partners, such as Syntegro, GPS or Geodynamics.
Whatever solution you choose, you immediately take a step towards more efficient time management and are better prepared for future obligations. Securex is happy to assist you with tailored advice and support.
A reliable registration of working hours
Although a general obligation for time registration will require extra effort for some companies, a reliable registration system can also offer advantages.
It gives you as an employer better insight into the actual hours worked. This helps you avoid disputes with your workers about working hours and overtime.
Think, for example, of a worker who regularly works longer to meet a deadline. Without time registration, it is difficult to keep a correct overview of the overtime worked and any compensatory rest.
In addition, you can also find out if your workers in a certain department systematically work overtime, while there is still capacity available in another department. This information can help adjust personnel planning and better distribute the labour charge.

What if the time registration system is abused?
A time registration system is not only meant to record working hours. It often also forms the basis for pay calculation. As an employer, you must be able to trust the accuracy of the recorded data. Abuse of the system can seriously damage that trust. Think, for example, of a worker who asks a colleague to clock in or out on their behalf, or who deliberately records incorrect hours. In such cases, the recorded performances no longer match reality.
Case law shows that most labour courts consider such facts a serious breach of trust. Because time registration is both a control tool and an instrument for pay calculation, fraud or manipulation of the system can be an urgent reason for dismissal.
Especially when the labour regulation contains clear rules about its use and the honesty expected from workers.
