The Charter of Fundamental Rights guarantees fair conditions, including limits on hours, rest periods, and paid leave. The European Working Time Directive sets minimum standards, capping average weekly hours at 48. Accurate record-keeping is required for compliance. The European Pillar of Social Rights promotes a safe, healthy work environment.
