No matter how much controversy there is with the time records, it must be remembered that it was already a mandatory standard for all those companies that had part-time employees. But be careful because in case of conflict, if there is no time record, the part-time employee becomes full-time.

This is the resolution adopted by the TSJ of Castilla y León, in a conflict between an employee and her employer, who had a debt of several months of salary and pending vacations at the end of the contract. In the absence of this record of hours, the settlement must be made as if it were a full day.

This is stated in article 12.4c of the Workers' Statute, which requires the registration of working hours: "The working hours of part-time workers will be recorded day by day and will be totaled monthly, giving the worker a copy, together with the salary receipt, of the summary of all the hours worked in each month, both the ordinary and the complementary ones referred to in section 5"

It is true that many companies do not take this record seriously, but the reality is that all those that have part-time employees would have to record the hours of their employees for some time. Now it would only be to extend it to the rest of the squad.

This work does not have to suppose an extra burden or an economic expense for companies. Of course, it will always give us more work than not doing it. But in case of conflicts or disagreements, we have already seen that it can cause serious damage to our company. To speak of sanctions for not having said record.
