Document background
The Attendance Agreement serves as a crucial document in the German employment context, becoming increasingly important following the European Court of Justice's requirement for systematic working time recording (CCOO decision). This agreement is essential when implementing or updating attendance tracking systems in German workplaces, ensuring compliance with the Arbeitszeitgesetz (Working Time Act), GDPR, and other relevant regulations. The document should be used when establishing new employment relationships or updating existing ones to include modern time-tracking methods. It covers essential aspects such as recording methods, data protection measures, and employee rights, while considering works council participation rights where applicable. The Attendance Agreement is particularly relevant given Germany's strict approach to workplace data protection and employee rights.
