Digital time tracking: the key to legal compliance and greater efficiency in your company
Digital time tracking has become an essential solution for all companies, regardless of their size or sector. Beyond being a legal obligation, having a digital system to record working hours saves time, avoids errors, and improves team management.
And with the arrival of the new digital working-hours registration law in 2026, digitalising this process will cease to be an option and become an urgent necessity.
In this context, solutions like Clocky.Me allow companies to comply with regulations and manage working hours more efficiently.
What is digital time tracking?
Digital time tracking is a system that allows you to record employees' clock-in, clock-out, and break times through electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, or computers.
Unlike manual or paper-based records, digital systems guarantee accuracy, traceability, and security, preventing manipulation and complying with the legal requirements established by the Labour Inspectorate.
They also allow all information to be centralised in the cloud, making it easier to access reports, supervise the team, and comply with labour audits.
Digital Working-Hours Registration Law
Over recent years, the Ministry of Labour and Social Economy has been working on a new Digital Working-Hours Registration Law, a regulation expected to come into force at the beginning of 2026 that will require all companies to implement a digital time tracking system.
Although it has not yet been officially published in the Official State Gazette (BOE), the Government has confirmed that this measure will be a continuation and update of Royal Decree-Law 8/2019, which established the obligation to record working hours in Spain.
The new regulatory text aims to modernise the current system, requiring records to be kept electronically and in a verifiable manner, leaving manual or paper-based methods behind.
In addition, the Labour Inspectorate is expected to strengthen its control mechanisms and penalise non-compliance, which can currently reach up to 7,500 euros under the Law on Infringements and Sanctions in the Social Order (LISOS).
For all these reasons, getting ahead of the entry into force of the new law by implementing a reliable digital time tracking solution that meets future legal requirements is a smart decision for any company.
Clocky.Me: the digital time tracking solution for your business
Clocky.Me is the solution developed by BigTech to facilitate regulatory compliance and improve personnel management.
It is a 100% web-based platform, intuitive and suitable for all types of companies.
Its main features include:
✅ Clock-in from any authorised device: employees can record their arrival, departure, and breaks from a mobile phone, tablet, or computer.
📍 Location and IP control: each clock-in is validated with the employee's actual location thanks to integration with Google Maps, making it possible to verify where the record was made. In addition, when a company uses a fixed IP, the system only allows clock-ins from that network, preventing records from unauthorised locations and thus guaranteeing the reliability of time tracking.
👥 Complete employee management: allows you to create workers, customise shifts, and adapt schedules with full flexibility.
📊 Advanced reports: generates reports by date range, employee, or location; comparisons of hours worked versus the hours stipulated in the contract; and even incident reports that detect work periods exceeding 6 hours without a break, which is not permitted under labour regulations.
☁️ Everything in the cloud: no installation required, accessible from any browser, with full security and data backup.
