Abstract

The paper aims to approach the dilemmas of EU working time regulation from the novel perspective of rest periods. It examines the functions and nature of rest periods in EU law, with special regard to the ECJ’s recent judgment in the MÁV-Start case (477/21). The analysis goes on with the question whether rest periods should be regarded as a right or an obligation of the worker and visits the issue of the possible role of a separate right to disconnect. The paper argues that it should be possible to work in another employment relationship during the rest period.
