Working hours -HEINEKEN recognizes the right to rest and leisure and will therefore always comply with local laws, regulations and/or local customs with regard to working hours and overtime. Moreover, in line with the ILO-report5 of the committee of experts on the application of conventions and recommendations concerning working hours HEINEKEN will generally not require its staff to work in excess of a maximum of 48 hours per week (less in some cases, depending on local laws) and will provide at least one day off for every seven-day period*.
In this way HEINEKEN aims to ensure safety in the workplace and to promote a healthy balance between working and home life of its employees.
*In certain exceptional circumstances, there may be specific reasons to deviate from this standard. Prior approval by HEINEKEN’s Chief HR Officer is required in those cases.
