If the work halts due to severe winter conditions, is it legal to request compensation work?
According to the regulation on work durations effective as of April 6, 2004, if the work is halted due to imperative reasons, national holidays or periods when working hours are shrunk considerably for similar reasons, the extra work time to make up the lost labour is called compensation work. The above-mentioned imperative reasons are unforeseen and unavoidable circumstances that no one could control. Being unable to deliver goods or complete installation due to intensive snow is a good example for these imperative reasons.
