The employer is responsible for determining and accounting for employees’ working time. The employer must, however, apply the protective provisions in this regard, contained in Section Six of the Labour Code, ‘Working Time’.

The determination of working time should be made:

• within the framework of the working time system adopted by the employer and to which the employee is subject,
• in accordance with the number of hours calculated on the basis of the provisions of the Labour Code on the determination of working time,
• in accordance with the number of working days resulting from working time; the remaining days should be days off for the employee,
• ensuring that the employee is provided with at least 11 hours of uninterrupted rest per day and, in principle, at least 35 hours of uninterrupted rest per week (including at least 11 hours of uninterrupted daily rest),
• taking into account restrictions on the scheduling of night work for certain categories of employees (e.g. pregnant or minor employees).
