Túlórák

Túlórák, a Hungarian term, refers to overtime work. It signifies any work performed beyond the standard daily or weekly working hours stipulated in an employment contract or by law. The regulations governing túlórák are typically outlined in labor codes and collective bargaining agreements, which vary by country and industry. Generally, overtime compensation is higher than the regular hourly wage, often calculated at a premium rate, such as 1.5 or 2 times the normal rate, depending on the day of the week or the number of hours worked. In some cases, instead of financial compensation, employees may be granted compensatory time off. The maximum amount of overtime that can be legally worked is also often subject to limitations to prevent excessive work hours and ensure employee well-being. Employers are usually required to track and record all overtime hours accurately. Failure to comply with overtime regulations can result in legal penalties for employers. The concept of túlórák is a fundamental aspect of labor law, aiming to balance the needs of employers for flexibility with the rights of employees to fair compensation and adequate rest.
