Checking Dinos: Should Buely look at his watch?

class=”sc-29f61514-0 icZBHN”>

Curiosity from a neighboring Nordic country: The German Federal Labor Court has ordered employers to keep records of employees’ working hours. With no exceptions. According to labor lawyer Philipp Fischinger, this also applies to sports clubs.

Which now leads to a somewhat strange discussion about what is generally considered working time for professional athletes (with the exception of individual athletes). Will they have to beat the clock on their way to halftime in the future? Is taking a victory lap in front of the fans also work time? Is training a job or private further education? What if the coach is thinking about a different tactic while sitting on the couch? Is he already working or is it still free time? Is traveling to an away game work time? Do substitutes have to come and go again after the game has started? Or do they only appear when they come?

What does the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs say?

How will this rule apply to hockey players? Will they have to access the timer every time they make a flight connection? Between missions they just sit and relax. In this case, the ice master (facility manager) will have to install timers not only in front of the locker room door, but also near the players’ benches. The most important question: what would Andres Ambühl (40 years old), known for his enjoyment of the game, say to such a bourgeoisie?

In Switzerland there is also a general obligation to document working time, but employers can waive this in certain circumstances. How exactly does it work? The State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (Seco) did not receive a response to this question within a reasonable period of time, apparently it was completed ahead of schedule. However, it can be assumed that there was no need to seriously consider this topic before this reviewer called.
