Everyday life

Un salarié travaille 6 heures de suite. De quelle pause minimale a-t-il droit selon le Code du travail ?

Translation: An employee works 6 hours in a row. What minimum break are they entitled to under the Code du travail?

  • A 5 minutes
  • B 10 minutes
  • ✓ 20 minutes Your answer
  • D 1 heure 1 hour

Correct!

Dès que le temps de travail quotidien atteint 6 heures, le salarié a droit à une pause d'au moins 20 minutes consécutives. Une convention collective peut prévoir mieux.

Once daily working time reaches 6 hours, the employee is entitled to a break of at least 20 consecutive minutes. A collective agreement can provide more.
