Chapter II: Working hours.

Young workers may not be employed to work more than eight hours a day and thirty-five hours a week. By way of derogation from the first paragraph, for certain activities determined by decree of the Conseil d’Etat, where the collective organisation of work justifies it, the following derogations may be made: 1° From the weekly working time of thirty-five hours, up to a maximum of five hours a week; 2°…

The employer shall allow young workers subject to the obligation to attend vocational courses during the working day the time and freedom necessary to comply with this obligation. Time devoted to training in an educational establishment is considered as actual working time.

No period of uninterrupted actual work may exceed a maximum of four and a half hours for young workers. When the daily working time exceeds four and a half hours, young workers are entitled to a break of at least thirty consecutive minutes.
