In Germany, more than 1.6 billion hours of overtime are worked each year, more than half of them unpaid. It is therefore worthwhile to clarify whether and to what extent the employee has a legal obligation to work overtime, whether and how overtime worked is to be compensated, and what the legal situation is if a dispute arises in this regard.

The statements represent initial information that was current for the law applicable in Germany at the time of initial publication. The legal situation may have changed since then. Furthermore, the information provided cannot replace individual advice on a specific matter. Please contact us for this purpose.
