Overtime compensation for on-call duty performed abroad

The Federal Administrative Court ordered the admission of the plaintiff's appeal, which prevails in the procedural stage by granting a hearing on the merits of the case. The dispute concerns a civil servant's claim for compensation for overtime work performed in the form of on-call duty, specifically arising from a service assignment abroad, where the issue is whether such work qualifies as overtime compensable through leisure time. The court admitted the appeal under § 132 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 VwGO, citing the fundamental legal significance of the matter and noting that parallel cases regarding overtime compensation for on-call duties performed abroad are already pending before the court, thereby establishing the need for clarification on the legal treatment of foreign-based service periods in this context.
