The law and practice

Working-hours records.

What the law requires, what the record must contain and how to keep it paper-free. Cuketi captures hours at the source, calculates pay premiums automatically and keeps records compliant with the Croatian Ordinance on working-hours records (NN 55/2024) and the Croatian Labour Act, ready for inspection and payroll.

Legal obligation

You must keep records, and prove them.

01

For every worker

The Croatian Labour Act requires proper working-hours records for every worker. The burden of proof lies with the employer.

02

The form under NN 55/2024

The Ordinance on the content and manner of keeping records (NN 55/2024) prescribes what the record must contain and how it is kept.

03

Available to inspection

Records are retained and must be available for supervision, with a printout for inspection under Article 13 of the Ordinance.

What the record must contain

Not just arrivals and departures.

  • The start and end of work and the total hours worked, for each day.
  • Overtime against the weekly quota, shown separately.
  • Night work (between 22:00 and 06:00), work on Sundays and public holidays.
  • Breaks and rest periods and the redistribution of working hours.
  • Absences, annual leave, sick leave and other time off.

A detailed guide to the required fields: Ordinance NN 55/2024.

Penalties

Improper records are an offence.

Under the Croatian Labour Act, fines for a legal entity range from 8,090 to 13,270 euros, with a separate fine for the responsible person. On top of that, the burden of proving hours worked lies with the employer.

How Cuketi keeps records

The record is created at the source, not in a spreadsheet.

  • Clock in at the source. Card, PIN or QR on the terminal, or your own phone; the clock starts immediately.
  • Pay premiums are calculated automatically. Overtime, night work, public holidays and Sundays according to each worker's schedule.
  • The record is never overwritten. Append-only with an audit trail of changes, retained for years.
  • PDF under Article 13. Ready for inspection and for payroll.
  • Works offline too. The terminal stores locally and syncs when the connection returns.
