Working Hours and Leave System

February 26, 2026

Working hours and leave are very important aspects of your job. Make sure you understand your rights clearly. Knowing these rules will help protect you in the workplace.

Working hours, breaks, and days off are determined by law. Even for temporary/dispatched workers, there are special obligations regarding the determination of working conditions. In addition, overtime work and work on days off must be compensated with premium (extra) pay.
