German way of working
1,Working time account
Working time accounts refer to overtime savings programs. In other words, it is a system where you can save the time you have worked overtime . And when their savings reach the maximum legal working hours of the day (8 hours / day), they can rest on their desired day . is.
| Mr. A works for the company 5 days a week. Mr. A is nearing his child's birthday and wants to take a break from the company and spend time with his child. So, I decided to use the working time count and worked overtime for 2 hours for 4 days. Now you can rest the company on your child's birthday. |

Have you ever thought of this? in this way We call whistleblowing a system that can solve people's anxiety. However, such accusations and whistle-blowing systems generally have to give their names.However, many companies in Germany have introduced anonymous reporting system . This will make it easier for you to accuse because you do not have to worry about receiving direct hatred from your boss. Reason 2,Legal restrictions on working hours
How long have you been working? I often hear the style of working from 8am to 5pm, which is eight hours.
However, some people say...

In fact, regular employees are illegal in Germany if their working hours exceed 10 hours a day . That means you can work 10 hours a day. This means that the average working time in Germany per month can be up to 10 hours. In addition, the average working hours per month is limited to 8 hours . Japanese people think these are inconsistencies and can never be done.
But there is a way to solve this in Germany! That is the working time account (working time saving system) introduced earlier. If you use it efficiently, you can resolve these conflicts.
If you force yourself to work long hours,
Your manager's pocket money can impose a fine of up to about \ 2.2 million .
Reason 3,Full paid vacation
How many paid vacations do business people take?
Working Condition Comprehensive Survey
As of 2018, the paid vacation consumption rate in Japan is 51.1% . The acquisition rate has only exceeded 50% in the last 30 years, only three times. So what kind of system is paid vacation?
-See: Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare Office
In this way, the number of days for which paid leave can be taken is determined by the years of service.
Also, due to the enactment of the Work Style Reform Law this spring, employees must be paid bosses on the 5th of the year.
On the other hand, non-regular employees
You can take a leave as shown above. In addition, the orange part can take 5 days a year like regular employees.
On the other hand, if you work in Germany for 6 months, you can get 30 days of paid vacation.
Also, German paid leave is 100% !
Why do Japanese people spend so much on vacation, while Germans do so? From here, I would like to take a look at German nationality.
