The Unified Electronic Working Time Recording Database (VEDLUDB) has been developed in accordance with:

-the law "On Taxes and Fees" (hereinafter – the Law);

-the Cabinet of Ministers regulations No. 21 of January 7, 2020, "Procedure for submitting electronic work time tracking system data for inclusion in the unified electronic work time tracking database, and requirements for the external security inspection and audit logs of the electronic work time tracking system."

According to the regulations, the Main Contractor is required to submit the following information in electronic data form to be included in the VEDLUDB by the 15th of each month:

• Information on all construction contracts concluded with their subcontractors in the previous month, including any amendments to these contracts;
• Information on the individuals employed at the construction site;
• Information on the amount paid under the contract or a part thereof in the previous month (main contractor’s settlements with their subcontractors);
• Information on amendments to the contract with the initiator.

The subcontractor's duty is to submit the following information by the 15th of each month, by logging into VEDLUDB:

• Information on all construction contracts concluded with their subcontractors in the previous month (both with their subcontractors and with the construction initiator);
• Amendments made to the contracts;

According to Article 144 of the Law, non-compliance with the regulations regarding electronic information recording at construction sites results in a warning or a fine. For example, if the main contractor fails to implement the Electronic Work Time Tracking System (EDLUS) at each construction site, a fine is imposed on the legal entity ranging from 0.1 percent to 5 percent of the construction contract amount, but not exceeding 100 000 euros. The State Revenue Service conducts the administrative violation procedure for the infringements mentioned in Article 144 of the Law.
