Hours
- How many hours a day can I be made to work?8 hours a day, reduced in hard or harmful work.
- Do I get breaks during the day?Breaks of 30 to 60 minutes in total, and no more than 5 hours straight.
- How is overtime paid?Day: 50% extra. Night, or hard or harmful work: double.
- Is there a limit on overtime?Only in listed cases; at most 4 hours a day in non-industrial work; overtime plus holiday work at most 300 hours a year.
- Do I get a weekly day off?At least one paid day a week.
- What if I work on a public holiday?Holidays are fully paid. Work on one is allowed only in set cases, and that day is paid double: a 20,000-dinar day pays 40,000.
