On average, German employees work 38.4 hours per week. The majority of employees would like to reduce their working hours, and about half of them want to work fewer than 5 days a week. 39 percent of employees regularly work on weekends. At the same time, the opportunities for many employees to organize their working hours flexibly have increased significantly. These and other results of the BAuA-Working Time Survey 2021 are presented in the current Working Time Report Germany.
