But, <strong>most importantly, if not properly controlled, registration can lead to violations and very high costs for companies that can be avoided, or reduced, through appropriate policies.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>For all these reasons, at UHY Fay &amp; Co we are at your service to analyze the situation of your company and establish the POLICIES\/ PROTOCOLS required to minimize the risks that can arise from compliance with the regulation on hourly registration.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-25945 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uhy-fay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/20250129_155036-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"252\" height=\"142\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uhy-fay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/20250129_155036-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.uhy-fay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/20250129_155036-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uhy-fay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/20250129_155036-1024x577.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 252px) 100vw, 252px\" \/><br \/>\nLydia barrena<\/strong><br \/>\nSenior Manager Labour &amp; Employment Law<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:lbg@uhy-fay.com\">lbg@uhy-fay.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After 9 months of the entry of the obligation for all companies to register, on a daily basis, the working hours of employees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":8587,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10789","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-labor-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Protocols to register work and break times of employees | UHY Fay &amp; Co<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"After 9 months of the entry of the obligations to register work and break times of employees.
