Controversial regulatory issues related to the working hours of overtime work, rest period, downtime, stand-by duty and on-call duty in Hungarian law in the context of Euro-Atlantic law

Abstract

In this study, we discuss the European regulation of working time, including the system of the working time banking. First, we review the standards set in Hungary and its application, then the regulations of individual European countries, broken down by country. In addition to the German, Austrian and Greek rules based on the German legal grounds, we also compare the labour law rules of Southern European countries, Scandinavian countries and East-Central Europe. The Anglo-Saxon legislation is also reviewed with its peculiarities.
