Germany: you are already required to record all working time
The obligation has been in force since September 2022, it applies to every employer, and it did not arrive through the Working Hours Act. Plenty of businesses are still waiting for a law that already effectively exists.
Ireland: the working-time records you must keep, and what happens if you do not
