Common use of Weekly rest Clause in Contracts

Weekly rest. The salaried employee shall be given at least 36 hours’ uninterrupted rest during each period of seven days (weekly rest). As far as possible, weekly rest shall be scheduled for weekends. Deviations may be made on a temporary basis if this is caused by a special circumstance that the employer could not have foreseen, on condition that the salaried employee is given 36 hours’ uninterrupted rest before the next weekly rest. This compensatory rest is paid leave. Deviations may be made from the above by local agreement on condition that the salaried employee is compensated with leave or is given other suitable protection. Time when the salaried employee is on standby (when a salaried employee must remain at the employer’s disposal in order to carry out work when the need arises) does not count as weekly rest.
