Voluntary firefighter overtime exceeding 48 hours and compliance of national opt-out rules with the EU Working Time Directive
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Federal Administrative Court (BVerwG) granted the plaintiff's leave to appeal for fundamental legal significance, ordering the case to proceed to the full revision instance. The dispute concerns the validity of a German "opt-out" regulation allowing firefighters to voluntarily agree to shift work exceeding 48 hours per week, specifically in the context of compliance with the EU Working Time Directive. The decisive legal issue is whether such a member-state provision meets the requirements of Article 22, paragraph 1, of Directive 2003/88/EC (EU Working Time Directive) regarding voluntary overtime beyond the maximum weekly limit.
