munkaidszabályozást

Munkaidő-szabályozás refers to the set of legal regulations governing the duration and organization of working time in Hungary. This framework establishes the maximum permissible working hours, minimum rest periods, and rules for overtime. The primary objective of these regulations is to protect employees' health and well-being by preventing excessive work and ensuring adequate recovery time.

Key aspects of munkaidő-szabályozás include the definition of standard working time, which is typically 8 hours per day and 40 hours per week. Beyond this standard, employers may schedule overtime, but this is subject to strict limits and often requires employee consent and additional compensation. Regulations also specify mandatory daily and weekly rest periods, ensuring employees have uninterrupted time away from work.

The legal framework also addresses various working time arrangements, such as flexible working hours, part-time employment, and shift work, each with its own set of rules. These regulations aim to balance the needs of employers for operational flexibility with the rights of employees to a healthy work-life balance. Non-compliance with munkaidő-szabályozás can result in significant penalties for employers.
