How overtime and hours work
The Pharmacie d'officine convention applies the 35-hour statutory reference week. Weekly working time is capped at 48 hours, with a 44-hour average over any 12 consecutive weeks, and daily working time is limited to 10 hours within a 13-hour span. Employees must receive at least 11 consecutive hours of daily rest between shifts. Overtime is paid at a rising premium: hours from 36 to 43 carry a 25 percent premium, and hours from 44 onward carry 50 percent, with an annual quota of 220 hours. Night work between 21:00 and 06:00 carries roughly a 25 percent premium, and exceptional Sunday work is paid at a 100 percent premium.
