Still more progressive than Switzerland to this day. They have normalized 42.5h workweek. You need to work 8.5 hours to be considered a fulltime employee.
Is a lunch break included here? In Germany it’s the norm to work 40h, but (are obliged to) spend an additional 30 minutes there for lunch. So you’re at work for 42,5h but only get paid for 40.
Nope, lunch is not included and unpaid (unless specified in contract, but virtually no one pays for lunch). Effectively ypu’re at work for 9.5 -10 hours.
