Night and Sunday work are subject to specific regulations and procedures designed to balance operational requirements with the protection of employees. Especially in the context of increasingly flexible working time models, it is essential for employers to be thoroughly familiar with the requirements and carefully implement them. Only in this way can legal risks be minimized while safeguarding the health and well-being of employees..
