  • twice within 3 weeks for shift work in order to achieve a regular weekly shift change. This applies both to the rest period after work on weekdays and after work on Sundays and public holidays.

You are not entitled to an exemption permit.

Requirements
  • Your employees are employees on standby, on-call duty or on-call duty in the public service of general interest or public safety and order.
Which documents are required?
