On 23 January 2024, the Danish Parliament passed the Bill which, among other things, requires employers to install, by 1 July 2024, a system allowing employees to record their daily working time.

What is new since the Bill was tabled?

No amendments had been proposed, and the Bill was therefore passed unchanged. However, the committee debate has resulted in various substantive clarifications and/or supplementary responses regarding the Bill. By way of example, the Minister for Employment has confirmed that an employee's daily working time can be prefilled in the working time recording system so that only deviations from the agreed and/or scheduled working time need to be recorded in the system. The Minister for Employment has also confirmed that the Bill requires recording of employees' daily working time only and not the exact start and end time of the work.
