1. What Labor Lawsuits Are and How They Can Undermine Your Business

Labor lawsuits are legal actions taken by employees (current or former) in which the company is accused of violating labor rights. In most cases, these lawsuits involve:
 

• Unpaid overtime
• Unlawful break periods
• Invalid or nonexistent time logs
• Excessive work hours
• Lack of documentary evidence in favor of the company
   

According to data from Labor Court, more than 60% of legal cases stem from time tracking issues. This happens because many businesses still treat this matter carelessly, using outdated or even nonexistent methods.

The impact can be devastating:
 

• High financial losses
• Damage to the company’s reputation
• Legal insecurity
• Poor organizational climate
• Wasted time on litigation and audits

2. Why Time Tracking Is Your Company’s First Line of Defense

If you want to protect your business strategically, time tracking must be treated as a top priority. Having a solid, secure, and automatic time tracking system is essential to:
 

• Comply with the law
• Provide undeniable proof in case of litigation
• Avoid fines and penalties during inspections
• Monitor organizational health
• Optimize processes and time
   

Companies that track time correctly not only avoid lawsuits—they boost productivity and foster a culture of transparency and trust.

3. The Mistakes Leading Thousands of Companies to Court

Many companies still make the same old mistakes:
 

• Manual spreadsheets: easily manipulated and without legal validity
• Physical time clocks (punch cards or biometrics): isolated systems, lacking integration, and with high maintenance costs
• Generic software: requiring employees to manually clock in, leaving room for human error
• Lack of audit preparation: missing complete reports and legal proofs
   

This is where Monitoo makes all the difference: it automatically generates time logs based on the actual use of the employee's computer. In other words, even if the employee forgets to clock in, the system detects when their workday starts and ends—with precision and traceability.

4. The Big Secret: Monitoo’s Automatic Time Tracking

While other software requires manual action to clock in (which increases the chances of mistakes and manipulation), Monitoo is the only system that uses computer usage intelligence to automatically create the time log.

Imagine this:
 

• The employee turns on their computer and starts working—the system identifies and logs the start of their shift
• They stop interacting—the system detects breaks, intervals, and the end of the shift
• Everything is recorded accurately, securely, and automatically, with immutable logs
   

This is the key advantage that places Monitoo years ahead of other systems. This innovation is what makes your company legally secure, even when an employee forgets to clock in manually.

5. Time Tracking + Productivity: Monitoo’s Complete Formula
