Labor laws and legislation -- Germany
The prohibition of Sunday work may be extended by Imperial Ordinance,
with consent of the Federal Council, to other trades besides those
mentioned in the Act. These ordinances shall be laid before the
Reichstag at the next session. The provisions of Sec.Sec. 105_c_ to 105_f_
shall apply to the exceptions to be permitted to such prohibition.
Sec. 105_h_.
The provisions of Sec.Sec. 135_a_ to 105_g_ do not preclude further
restrictions by common law of work on Sundays and holidays.
The Central Provincial Court shall be empowered to permit departures
from the provisions of Sec. 105_b_, 1, for special holidays which do not
fall upon a Sunday. The provision does not apply to Christmas, Easter,
Ascension Day or Whitsuntide.
Sec. 105_i_.
The provisions of Sec.Sec. 105_a_, 1, 105_b_ to 105_g_ do not apply to public
houses and beerhouses, concerts, spectacles, theatrical
representations, or any kind of entertainment, nor to carrying
industries.
Industrial employers may only exact from their workpeople on Sundays and
holidays such work as admits of no delay or interruption.
Sec. 106.
Industrial employers who have been deprived of civil rights shall not,
so long as they remain deprived of these rights, undertake the
instruction of workers below 18 years of age.
The police authorities may enforce the dismissal of workers employed in
contravention of the foregoing prohibitions.
Sec. 107.
Unless special exceptions are made by Imperial Ordinance, persons under
age shall only be employed as workers on condition that they are
furnished with a work register. At the time of engaging such workers,
the employer shall call for the work register. He shall be bound to keep
the same, produce it upon official demand, and return it at the legal
expiration of service relations. It shall be returned to the father or
guardian if demanded by them, or if the worker has not yet completed his
sixteenth year, in other cases it shall be returned to the worker
himself.
With consent of the local authorities of the district specified in Sec.
108, the work register may also be handed over to the mother or other
relation, or directly to the worker himself.
The forgoing provisions do not apply to children who are under
compulsion to attend the national schools.
Sec. 108.
The work register shall be supplied to the worker by the police
authorities of that district in which he has last made a protracted
stay; but if this was not within the limits of the German Empire, then
it shall be free of costs and stamp duty in any German district chosen
by him. It shall be supplied at the request or with the consent of the
father or guardian; and if the opinion of the father cannot be obtained,
or if the father refuses consent on insufficient grounds, and to the
disadvantage of the worker, the local authorities shall themselves grant
consent.
