COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION Interpretative Communication on Directive 2003/88/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning certain aspects of the organisation of working time · European Union

Given its exceptional and unforeseeable nature, remuneration received for overtime does not, in principle, form part of the normal remuneration (280). However, when the obligations arising from the employment contract require the worker to work overtime on a broadly regular and predictable basis, and the corresponding pay constitutes a significant element of the total remuneration that the worker receives for the professional activity, the pay received for that overtime work should be included in the normal remuneration (281).
