More than 32,000 police officers in Austria will begin testing new working hours, known as duty time management, starting tomorrow. The test phase will take place in the districts of Bregenz, Linz, Leibnitz, Gänserndorf, and Vienna-Brigittenau. Interior Minister Gerhard Karner has described the reform as modernization and improvement for employees, while opponents warn of potential wage losses due to reduced overtime. The new system limits service times to a maximum of 13 hours at a time and abolishes 24-hour services, with weekend and night shift allowances doubling from January 2027. Police officers in test districts will receive recognition payments and additional days off.
