Debate on German working hours law resurgence
The German Employers' Association is seeking to impose a maximum limit on weekly working hours, pointing out that European regulations allow extending daily working hours to 10 hours with compensation within six months. However, the majority of workers and trade unions propose setting an overall weekly limit to enhance protection and ensure better regulation of work. The Ministry of Labor is expected to introduce a bill to reform the working hours system this fall, which includes abolishing sick leave via phone. Additionally, the government has started implementing measures requiring medical certificates from the first day of illness, aiming to reduce the exploitation of the sick leave system.
