Overtime:
When the contractually specified normal working hours are exceeded up to the maximum weekly working hours (45 to 50 hours, depending on the industry), this is referred to as overtime.
Extra hours:
Extra hours refer to situations where the statutory maximum weekly working hours (45 to 50 hours, depending on the industry) are exceeded.
Labor Law:
The maximum weekly working hours are: 45 hours for employees in industrial establishments, as well as for office staff, technical staff, and other employees, including sales staff in large retail establishments; 50 hours for all other employees.
The maximum daily working time is 13 hours, provided that a rest period of 11 consecutive hours is observed.
Wage supplements under the Labor Law:
The employer must pay employees a wage premium of at least 25 percent for overtime work; this applies to office staff as well as technical and other employees, including sales staff in large retail establishments, but only for overtime exceeding 60 hours in a calendar year. (See Art. 12 ArG)
Therefore, under the payroll+ system, a maximum of 46.25 hours per week can be worked without overtime pay (52 weeks per year – 4 weeks of vacation = 48 weeks / 60 hours : 48 weeks = 1.25 hours per week, which can be worked without overtime pay).
Working hours and overtime are governed by Articles 9–13 of the Swiss Labor Act (ArG) or by the applicable collective bargaining agreement (CBA)
