LMT electronic working time tracking – EDLUS

EDLUS – an efficient working time tracking system for businesses

The electronic working time tracking system, or EDLUS, allows businesses to digitally store and review data on employee working hours in one place. According to Latvian legislation, the use of such a system in the field of construction is mandatory. LMT offers much more than required by law – a convenient, modern, and flexible system that helps optimise your business processes.

What is EDLUS and why is it important for employers?

The electronic working time tracking system registers the actual working time of employees by recording the data on their arrival at and departure from the workplace, as well as the contractual pay. The use of such a system in the field of construction is mandatory – both at enclosed and open-type construction sites.

LMT EDLUS offers not only a reliable and legally compliant solution, but also quick installation and the possibility to customise it to the specific business needs. The electronic working time tracking system allows you to analyse data on employees, shifts, and workloads, as well as to optimise your business processes. The data records allow accurate planning and correct recording of the hours actually worked in shift-scheduled workplaces, as well as organisation and planning of work and the required human resources.

EDLUS can be an efficient solution for businesses with a large number of employees working according to shift schedules. Working time control allows you to remotely monitor the hours actually worked and their consistency with the plan.

How do working time tracking systems operate?

EDLUS is a software and technical hardware system that allows employees to check in and out using a smartphone, NFC card, sticker, or fingerprint. The management site keeps track of work hours, and it can generate various reports and send alerts when an employee is absent from work.

The system is easy to use on a smartphone or web browser. The API connection provides a secure way to synchronise database information with external systems. There is also the possibility to install a temperature sensor and a breathanalyser, both especially relevant for transport and logistics businesses, as well as in the service and food production sectors where it is important to monitor the health status of employees.

In the construction sector, including road construction, where EDLUS is mandatory, this system enables efficient planning and organisation of workforce and wages. For construction businesses, EDLUS offers additional features useful for recording settlements and transferring information to VEDLUDB, the single electronic working time tracking database. Real-time monitoring of the number of employees or visitors on a construction site allows remote control of work on several construction sites involving multiple subcontractors.

Work time planning in a contemporary business

Accurate digital time monitoring and efficient work scheduling are crucial for a contemporary business. Benefits of efficient and accurate working time tracking:

• business process optimisation;

EDLUS registration and implementation

EDLUS registration is easy with a reliable partner – LMT! There is a possibility to apply for a demonstration and consultation to understand how the system works. The next step is to understand the specifics of your business (data records at different levels, number of employees and departments, required equipment and additional features such as turnstiles or magnetic door locks).

Questions and answers

How does the EDLUS system differ between enclosed and open-type sites?

On open-type sites, the employee checks in via a smartphone and the GPS coordinates are validated. On enclosed sites, the system is equipped with access control tools such as turnstiles. The employee or visitor checks in at the receptionist and is then allowed to enter the premises. This way, the system provides both working time tracking and additional safety.

Where is it beneficial to use a working time tracking system?

Not only the construction sector, where such a system is mandatory, but also other sectors can benefit from the efficiency of EDLUS. Working time tracking is equally important in security, production, cleaning, catering, logging, and other sectors.

Is there any charge for implementing LMT EDLUS and staff training?

LMT offers EDLUS consulting, implementation, and staff training free of charge.

Is the use of EDLUS also mandatory on small construction sites?

According to the law, from 1 January 2025, EDLUS is mandatory on construction sites with a total cost exceeding 170 000 EUR.

How quickly can LMT EDLUS be installed?

This depends on the specifics of the business: scope of operations, control equipment, number of employees and other parameters. Apply for a consultation and we will design a customised solution for your business and install it for free!
