Dispute between a customs officer and officials over 13 minutes of work or break time leads to legal action
A dispute over working hours involving a customs officer has escalated to the Higher Regional Court (OLG) in Munich, following an appeal against a previous verdict.
The customs officer, whose working hours were in question, had requested a correction of 13 minutes due to a shift adjustment. However, the employer deducted 20 minutes of break time, citing an exceedance of the working time limit.
The customs officer's workday began at 06:00 and ended at 07:10, with a break for personal reasons. After the break, the officer resumed work at 07:23 and continued until 12:20 on a weekday.
Breaks of less than 15 minutes, it is implied, do not ensure regeneration, which could have been a factor in the employer's decision not to grant the correction.
The initial verdict was made by the Administrative Court of Baden-Württemberg, but it has since been allowed, paving the way for the appeal to the OLG.
Ralf Schick, who can be reached at 0711 66601 185 or via email at r.schick@our website, is involved in the case.
It is important to note that the judgment regarding the customs officer's working hours is not yet final. The outcome of the appeal at the OLG could have significant implications for the officer and potentially other employees in similar situations.
