With the Intempus time tracking system, you can easily ensure you comply with the 11-hour rule.
The 11-hour rule
What is the 11-hour rule all about?
According to the Danish Working Environment Act, employees are entitled to 11 consecutive hours of rest within a 24-hour period. If an employee gets off work at 2 a.m., he must have at least until 1 p.m. The rule is there to ensure employees' right to breaks between shifts.
What if the rule is broken?
It is the employer's responsibility to ensure that the 11-hour rule is respected for all employees. If the rule is violated, as an employer, you must record the extent of the violation - including the employees involved, the time of the violation, the number of hours involved and the reason why the rule was violated.
As an employer, you can risk being fined if you don't comply with the 11-hour rule.
