From the beginning of the festival, shifts are eight hours long between 09:00 to 18:00 (including a 30-minute unpaid lunch break) worked to cover opening hours across Monday to Sunday. Working hours will be organised according to a rota system communicated in advance. Working hours will not exceed the Working Time Directive at any point.
