Customs Employee Files Lawsuit Against Superiors: Altercation over 13 Minutes of Work or Break Time
A dispute between a customs officer and their employer over working hours has been allowed to proceed to the Administrative Court of Baden-Württemberg. The issue at hand revolves around a break taken by the officer, which was less than 15 minutes, leading to the exceeding of the working time limit.
According to the case, the customs officer worked from 06:00 to 07:10, 07:23 to 12:20, and took a break for personal reasons that lasted an unspecified amount of time on a weekday. This break, however, was less than the required 15 minutes for regeneration, as stated by the employer. Consequently, the employer deducted 20 minutes of rest time from the officer's work hours.
The customs officer, unsatisfied with this decision, requested a correction of his working hours by 13 minutes. However, the employer did not grant the correction due to the exceeding of the working time limit.
The officer then appealed the decision, and the appeal has been allowed. The judgment regarding the dispute, however, is not yet final.
