Recording working hours: Why a new working hours law is needed – Economy

Of

Benedict Peters

There is a law that is broken thousands of times a day in Germany, probably hundreds of thousands of times. Nurses break it by adding an early shift to the late shift the next day. University lecturers break it when they finish their essay for the journal at night. The law is also broken by insurance clerks, web designers, skilled workers and lawyers – and many other people who work in Germany. The law is called the Working Hours Act.
