In his highly disputed ‚CCOO’-decision from May 14. 2019, the European Court of Justice has recognized the employer’s task to record daily working hours of their employees as a federal obligation. Dr. Thomas Klein (IAAEU) and Dominik Leist (Trier University) have invested their time in researching the backgrounds and effects of this decision and have come to the conclusion that it requires a necessary adjustment by the German federal law. Concerning this topic, several related articles have been published in German academic literature (Leist, jurisPR-ArbR Nr. 22/2019, Anm. 1; Klein/Leist, ZESAR 2019, 365-372).
The previously mentioned publications have now been complemented by an English dispatch on the homepage of the Comparative Labor Law & Policy Journals, to make the results accessible internationally. The article (Dispatch No. 19) is available under the following link.
