The judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union of 19 December 2024 (case C-531/23) has declared contrary to Directive 2003/88/EC the jurisdiction and administrative practice of not setting the obligation to establish a system of recording working hours for people employed in the service of the family home. The general rule of Directive 2003/88/EC on domestic law prevails, which does not provide for a specific provision for persons employed in the family home on a full-time basis.
