What about workplace changes in Spain?

Recording employees’ working hours every day has been mandatory in Spain since 2019. A royal decree that would make digital time recording mandatory is still in the works: after an unfavourable opinion from the Council of State in March 2026, it had not been approved as of early November 2026, and the general election of 29 November 2026 adds further uncertainty. As for the bill to cut the working week to 37.5 hours, it was rejected by Congress in September 2025.

In practice, your current time-recording method remains legal for now, but companies that move to a reliable digital system today will be ready as soon as the new rules arrive.
