Working Time Act with Multiple Employers: What Really Applies
March 18, 2026 11 min readJowomo Team

The Working Time Act: Basics
The German Working Time Act (ArbZG) regulates permissible working hours. Importantly, regulations apply across all employers — working hours from all employments are added together.
Key Limits
Daily maximum: 8 hours (exception: 10 hours with compensation)
Rest periods: At least 11 hours uninterrupted rest
Weekly maximum: 48 hours (6 working days x 8 hours)
Who is Liable?
Each employer is responsible for ensuring ArbZG compliance, with fines up to €30,000 per violation. Without a system like Jowomo, multi-employment compliance remains a blind spot.
Jowomo's Solution
Jowomo automatically aggregates working hours across all employers with real-time compliance monitoring and privacy-by-design.
