Orbán was pushing through things like German car factories only having to pay out overtime three years after accrued, and only if it was not offset with being given less hours years later.
Wait… I think I’m understanding this but it’s so absurd I want to double check.
If you work over time today, you don’t get paid the over time for 3 years? And if in those 3 years, you get less hour for some reason, it eats away at the over time?
Correct. That’s the law in Hungary. Remember the whole supply chain issue a few years ago? That destroyed a bunch of overtime built up for a lot of people though production shutdowns.
The same law raised the overtime limit to 400 hours per year from 250. It also let employers bypass unions on overtime negotiations as well.

Look up “rabszolgatörvény” or the “Slave Law”.
