Running a language school in Spain means juggling education, administration, and legal obligations. One of the trickiest requirements in recent years has been working time registration<\/strong>. Since 2019, Spanish law has required all employers to keep a daily record of start and finish times<\/strong> for every employee \u2014 administrators, teachers, both full and part-timers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Until now, many schools have managed with a patchwork of solutions: paid time-tracking apps for office staff, and signed Excel sheets or PDFs for teachers.<\/span><\/p>\n

But that approach won\u2019t be enough for long. From 2026<\/strong>, records must be fully digital, tamper-proof, and securely stored for 4 years<\/strong>. For many schools, that means new software costs \u2014 often \u20ac4 to \u20ac6 per employee per month<\/strong> \u2014 at a time when budgets are already tight.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we\u2019re excited to introduce a solution: a brand-new integrated time tracking feature in SchoolMate<\/strong>, designed specifically for language schools. And the best part? It\u2019s completely free for all SchoolMate users<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why this matters<\/span><\/h2>\n

Legal peace of mind<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Our time tracking system records start and end times, plus breaks and other absences in compliance with Spanish labour law. Records are stored securely for 4 years, ready for inspection.<\/span><\/p>\n

Designed for schools<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
