Articles

The research of legal regulation and practice of working time recording was based on the study of EU Directive 2003/88, legal regulation models of EU member states, European practice, the 2019 decision of the CJEU, as well as the Georgian practice.

The research document was commissioned by Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE) under the project “Engaging Workers and Civil Society to Strengthen Labor Law Enforcement.”

The aim of the development of this research document is to support the member organizations of the Economic Policy Advocacy Coalition (EPAC) in advocacy.
