Mindestarbeitszeit

Mindestarbeitszeit, or minimum working hours, is a regulation that sets a legal baseline for how much an employee must work within a certain period, typically weekly or monthly. This ensures employees have enough work hours to earn a stable income, while also providing clarity for employers and workers regarding expectations. The regulation aims to balance labor needs and worker welfare, preventing excessive or insufficient working hours. It helps maintain fair working conditions, supports economic stability, and ensures employees are not underemployed or exploited.
