(CN) A worker must have at least 11 hours of rest during a work day even if she is doing work connected to more than one contract for the same employer, Europe’s highest court decided on Wednesday.
The European Court of Justice ruling came in a case involving European Union grant money that went to experts at Romania’s University of Economic Studies in Bucharest.
In 2012 and 2013, the experts filed timesheets exceeding the EU’s rules that say employees cannot work more than 13 hours in a single day. The experts justified their longer days by adding hours related to different contracts they had with the university.
The European Union Justice Ministers want illegal content to be removed from the internet in order to combat online child sexual abuse, hate speech and other crimes “with the cooperation of the service providers under the scope of the draft Digital Services Act”. Attention was called to this need at the informal video conference of Justice Ministers yesterday, which was chaired by Portuguese Minister Francisca Van Dunem.
Moving forward with the digitalisation of justice in the European Union is also a common priority for the Member States. The Minister of Justice noted the possibility of using funding from the Recovery and Resilience Facility for this. According to the European Commissioner for Justice, Didier Reynders, each Member State is expected to earmark 20% of the funds they receive for the digital transition.
