Statutory break times
The statutory break times are regulated as follows: Employees are entitled to a break of at least 30 minutes after working between 6 and 9 hours. From a working time of 9 hours, employees must take a break of at least 45 minutes.
It should be noted that an employee may not work for more than 6 hours at a time. Furthermore, breaks are not to be equated with working time. For this reason, employees do not receive any remuneration during breaks.
