Droit et réglementation du travail

Why do I need to record work hours in Switzerland?

In Switzerland, the employer is obligated to record the working time of employees. This information must be legible in a way that can provide detailed information to authorities and other relevant parties. This information includes the hours worked, weekly rest, and breaks.

Although most businesses are required to do so, there is room for exceptions. In some cases, it is possible to keep only a simplified time recording or dispense with the recording altogether. Also, in Switzerland, working time can be recorded using various tools. These include recording with mobile phone, laptop, badges, manual recording with clock-in software or Excel, or even on paper.

Even though this information can be recorded using simple resources, managing this documentation can be made easier when using a platform or service whose function is to track time and attendance.

In regard to changing working culture and new laws, a shift is visible among employers towards cloud-based time and attendance solutions. This makes sense, because of the ease of use these offer for both on-site and remote workers.
