The time it takes to change your work clothes is working time!

Changing work clothes = Working time? Yes!

Do you have to change when you get to work? Do you have to wash before or after work? If this is an employer's claim or a need due to the nature of the work, it is part of working time! ⏳💼

Why is it important?
📌 If changing work clothes is necessary for the performance of work, the employer must consider it as working time
📌 If washing is unavoidable due to work (e.g. in health care or manufacturing), the time spent on it must also be working time

💡 The employer cannot exclude this time from working hours by working organisation rules! If you have been unpaid for that time, you have the right to recover it.
