Do employers need to record working time? The Court of Justice gives guidance in Confederación Sindical de Comisiones Obreras (CCOO) v. Deutsche Bank SAE

Do employers need to keep a record of workers’ actual hours worked? The Court of Justice had the opportunity to provide an answer in Confederación Sindical de Comisiones Obreras (CCOO) v. Deutsche Bank SAE.[1] The case concerned a dispute between a number of Spanish trade unions and Deutsche Bank over whether the bank was under an obligation to set up a system to record the actual daily working time of its employees.
