In plain language
- Employers will no longer need to notify the labour inspectorate when employees work overtime due to an unforeseen necessity.
- This mainly affects employers and businesses, as it reduces administrative paperwork during sudden, unexpected situations.
- For you as an employee, nothing changes regarding your pay, compensatory rest, or legal protections when working overtime.
