Duty to record working time: The BAG’s reasons for its decision are on the table
In its decision of 13 September 2022 (1 ABR 22/21), the Federal Labour Court (Bundesarbeitsgericht - BAG) established the obligation to record working time resulting from Section 3 (2) 1 of the German Occupational Health and Safety Act (ArbSchG). The reasons for the decision, which have now been published, show which concrete implementation obligations employers have to comply with and what leeway (still) exists in the implementation.
