Summary
В статье проводится сравнительно-правовой анализ, рассматриваются единые для всех государств-членов положения о регулировании института рабочего времени, которые представляют собой тот минимальный уровень гарантий прав работников, соблюдать который должна каждая страна ЕС. В этой связи особый интерес представляет регулирование продолжительности рабочего дня и рабочей недели в рамках Европейского Союза, поскольку ЕС в силу своего особого правового статуса сочетает в себе признаки не только международной организации, но надгосударственного образования[3].
