To be considered overtime, the extra workload must be either ordered or approved by the Head of Department. Overtime should be limited whenever possible. The demand and duration should be controllable.
Overtime means work in addition to the general daily working hours. In the case of part-time work, overtime starts only after the general daily working hours for a certain day have been fulfilled. We also differ between simple and double overtime.
Compensation is given in the form of remuneration or time off. Time off is possible if the employee wants it and the employer considers it compatible with the demands of the current activities.
Overtime may not exceed 150 hours per calendar year and a maximum of 50 hours per month may be compensated. Overtime compensated by time off is not affected by this limit.
Doctoral students and teaching assistants cannot be ordered to work overtime.

For a part-time employee, time up to the normal full-time period of work are called extra hours. Compensation may be given in the form of remuneration or time off. Extra hours may not exceed 175 hours per calendar year and the total number of compensation may not exceed 200 hours per calendar year.
