We got 37,5h pr week, 7,5h work time pr day.(+1/2h lunch)
Many work extra, but law regulates max extra per day, week, month and year.
In the Army they say each of us is working for two, to much work and to little employers.
So we get to much extra work, wife is not happy at all....
But then get a normal payment without extra time.....
Regarding work and pay;
You must show up at work every day, employer have to find work for u.
As Alco says, u might end up in the workshop if work is low.
If the firm is out of work totaly, you can be sent home with a written note that you are on "leave". Firm has to pay u for 2 weeks, then u are on unemployment wage payed by the state.
U have to register from day one as a workseeker.
And take any work given/offerred to you, if not u can loose your unemployment wage.
