Amid the mobilization of reservists and labor shortages, the Labor Minister signed temporary permits to extend work shifts in key sectors.
In the transport sector, drivers of buses and trucks weighing over 6 tons are allowed to work up to 15 hours per day (but not more than 90 hours per week) with their consent.
In security structures, shifts can be increased to 14 hours a day, subject to additional breaks and compliance with the weekly overtime limit of up to 37 hours.
These measures are valid until the special provisions are lifted or until March 3, 2026.
An emergency situation changes the usual order, but does not cancel basic labor rights. In the context of missile alarms and a partial shutdown of the economy, it is important to understand where responsibility ends and right begins, what the law requires and what protection it guarantees to each employee.
