1. Mandatory Time Tracking:

Whether your security personnel are working on-site, from home, or in the field – the Federal Labor Court ruling makes it clear that daily working hours must be systematically and reliably recorded. This means that security companies must implement appropriate systems and processes for time tracking. This is where the Online Guard Control System from COREDINATE® comes into play – our online software is designed to meet the industry's requirements. With this solution, you can efficiently and legally track your security personnel's working hours, regardless of their location.

2. More Than Just Overtime:

In addition to tracking overtime, security companies from 2023 onwards must also accurately record the start, end, and duration of daily working hours. This requires an effective time tracking system that ensures seamless documentation. However, it should be noted that exceptions may apply to companies with fewer than ten employees. Compliance with these requirements will be crucial to meeting labor law regulations and avoiding legal disputes.
