Record working times systematically, save administrative effort and meet legal requirements - with ChronoHub and seamless integration into SAP Business One.
Why electronic time recording is indispensable today
Digital time recording is becoming increasingly important for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) - not only to optimize internal processes, but above all to meet legal requirements.

Legal obligation to record working hours
Since the ECJ ruling in 2019 and the decision of the Federal Labor Court (BAG) in 2022, it has been clear that:
Employers are obliged to systematically record their employees' working hours.
The planned reform of the Working Hours Act also provides for this:
- Electronic recording is mandatory
- Time recording data must be kept for two years
- Audit-proof documentation becomes mandatory
- Violations can lead to consequences under labor law
For companies, this means that they need a reliable, digital and legally compliant system for recording working time.

The solution: ChronoHub - electronic time recording in SAP Business One
As SAP Business One does not offer integrated time recording by default, this is where ChronoHub comes into play.
As a solution from our partner Coresystems, ChronoHub enables the seamless recording and management of working times directly in SAP Business One.
