Time recording in Belgium: prepare without panic

Belgium’s working-time recording reform is moving step by step. Here is a careful reading for SMEs.

A draft aims to generalise an objective working-time recording system. Until the text is adopted and published, no firm obligation date can be claimed.

In practice, social inspectors already expect coherent evidence: who worked when, and how a correction was made. An overwriteable spreadsheet does not hold up well.

A solid system combines reliable timestamps (ideally server-side), corrections with reason and author, and fast PDF/CSV export. That is Horodata’s core.

Do not wait for the final vote to structure the register: team habits and data quality are built before day one.

Try Horodata for 7 days — then €49 excl. VAT/month up to 40 employees.
