Overtime / Extra hours
Overtime refers to working hours that exceed the contractually agreed working hours. Overtime is compensated by remuneration (salary + extra pay) or time off. The extra pay for overtime can be excluded in the contract.
Extra hours accrue when working hours exceed the statutory maximum working time (45 hours per week). Extra hours have to be compensated by remuneration (salary + 25% extra pay) or time off (hours). In this case, the extra pay cannot be contractually excluded.
