Overtime in labour law - possibilities and remuneration
- The term "working time" is used in German labour law in two different senses. On the one hand, it is undersood as the contractually owed working time and, on the other hand, as the actual working time performed. If more work is performed as it is owed, two main questions arise: first, whether the work was authorised and second, whether the additional work/overtime also has to be paid. There are two systems behind this: On the one side, health protection under the Working Hours Ac and, on the other side, the employment contract in connection with Section 612 of the German Civil Code (BGB). With regard to remuneration, the question arises in Germany as to whether an employer may agree in the contract that overtime does not have to be paid, which constitutes a deviation from Section 612 BGB. This chapter examine this issue.
