Principle and conditions
Female employees may not be employed in any night work in factories, on construction sites or in workshops and their outbuildings unless they occupy managerial or technical posts that involve responsibility.
Exemptions to this principle may, however, be granted by the Labour Inspector, at the request of the employer, after consultation with the staff representatives, or, if there are no such representatives, with the staff concerned.
Any work undertaken between 10 pm and 5 am is considered night work.
However, a collective agreement may provide that another period of seven consecutive hours, between 10 pm and 7 am, shall replace the period specified above.
