Ouch. That's no fun either way.

Thinking that in Germany it is a criminal offense to employ people for 
more than 50 hours a week on average, or more than 10 hours on any 
day... then again, contract work might be a legal way around that here, too.


Just wondering though whether the company will be better off with one of 
their contractors now working 0 hours rather than 10...

In some states in US it's also illegal, but where I'm at (Kentucky) they 
rank at the bottom for labor laws

Yeah ... I don't see the logic either, people are dropping like flies 
and they are having major staffing problems. Just got a text from a 
friend still there and they're running with a short crew tonight, she's 
an older person like myself and dead run off her feet. I'm hoping to win 
the lottery tonight so I can rescue her from that hell-hole

Sounds like a plan. Don't forget to donate a few bucks to the cause of 
POV-Ray though ;)

your latest commit still had the OTOc problem that started this thread 
so I was able to test the above ... looks like you nailed that one too

If I remember correctly, the limit is 48 hours/week!

In NL, the official (cumulative) maxima are 12 hours/day and 60 
hours/week. However, you are not allowed to work to the maximum hours 
for a continuous period. Over longer periods averages of 55 hours/week 
(4 weeks period) or 48 hours/week (16 weeks period) apply. The average 
for most jobs probably is 36/40 hours/week. If these rules apply for 
independent workers depends on the type of work provided.
