Is a tram driver performing passenger transport, entitled to at least 35 hours of uninterrupted rest per week?

This question is about the weekly rest of a tram driver who carries passengers. He is entitled to at least 35 hours of uninterrupted rest per week - the answer is YES.

The Labour Code gives an employee, in every week, the right to at least 35 hours of uninterrupted rest, including at least 11 hours of daily rest. This also applies to tram drivers employed by public transport companies. Rest is meant to allow recovery - tiredness lengthens reaction time and weakens concentration, and a tram driver is responsible for the safety of many passengers. The employer plans the work schedules so as to provide this rest, and the tram driver should actually use it to recover.

Legal basis: Art. 133 § 1 of the Labour Code
