For years, there have been concerns in Spain that this is not the best way to do business. In 2016, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy tried to abolish the long lunch break, to bring the country’s working hours more in line with its neighbors. There are also concerns that the system is not ideal for work-life balance. “In Spain, people spend around 12 to 14 hours outside their home,” says Junqué.
Right now, advice across the bloc varies wildly. For outdoor work, the maximum temperature is 36 degrees Celsius in Montenegro, 28 in Slovenia, and 18 in Belgium, while some countries, like France, have no temperature cap at all. Rescheduling not only protects employees from heat stress, it can also boost productivity, says Lars Nybo, a professor of human physiology at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, adding that this is what he found when he studied agricultural workers in Italy.
1593: Workers shall spend 8h a day, 4h in the morning, 4h in the afternoon, distributed so as to take shelter from the harshness of the sun.
