Flexitime interface to TIM at DG ENTR - Commission

Answer of 15 September 2008 to a notification for prior checking relating to the DG ENTREPRISE's ("DG ENTR") flexitime interface to TIM (Case 2008-111)

In this notification relating to Flexitime, DG ENTR intends to implement a button interface in working PCs to collect presence data. In his analysis, the EDPS considers that the purpose of the notified treatment by DG ENTR does not fully meet the purpose of flexitime, as derived from the analysis of TIM and opposes the sending of e-mails to a functional mailbox of the Head of Units. However, the EDPS recognises that the idea to have a user friendly interface to store timestamps into TIM without the need to use the graphical user interface of SYSPER2-TIM should not be prevented.
