Abstract/Citation
Daily working hours are eight and weekly hours are forty, from the beginning to the end of each week without counting rest periods. Exceptions from this basic regulation can be allowed under the circumstances set out under sections 4 and 5 of this Act, for example in case of necessary emergency service and staggered hours of work. Working time can also be prolonged when there is a higher demand on work, but this prolongation is limited to the extent that every employee must work not more than five hours overtime a week and sixty hours during a year. Consolidated text.
