Hungary Overtime Rules
Hungary's standard week is 40 hours. Overtime is paid with a +50% wage supplement (or paid time off), rising to +100% for work on a weekly rest day or public holiday.
- +50% supplement for regular overtime, or paid leave in lieu.
- +100% for overtime on a weekly rest day or public holiday (or +50% plus a substitute rest day).
- The annual overtime limit is generally 250 hours, extendable by collective agreement.
This applies the +50% rate for regular overtime; rest-day and holiday work is higher, and a collective agreement can change the figures.
