So, if you want to read more please click above wordbutton.It says that Americans now average 200 more hours per year working than workers in France. However, I think if you are working on a Salary you still could be working unlimited hours there too. This is only if you are paid by the hour.(not sure about this).
So, if you are paid by the hour and can get a French work visa maybe you won't have to work more than 35 hours a week enforced by French law (if that is your wish).
I always like working for myself in my own business or businesses. Businesses are always feast or famine. That's how businesses are. So, if you own your own business you might make a fortune or lose your shirt and have to go bankrupt. One never really knows because owning a business is always somewhat of a gamble. However, nothing ventured nothing gained. Owning your own business might mean anything from working 100 or more hours a week for a year or more or not having to work anymore much because it is working just fine because you put enough thought and effort into it to make it work right ongoing at least for now.
IF you can find a way to really unleash your full creativity even part time you might be surprised at what you can create here in the U.S. or anywhere in the world.In France, it’s now illegal to work late
Unions and employers in France have come to a labor agreement that employees are not allowed to check their work-related emails after the work day. iStockphotoIn America, there’s no law that maximizes the number of hours we can work each week. According to Federal Reserve Economic Data, Americans work an average of 200 more hours per year than French employees.
Eight-hour work days may seem like a thing of the past thanks to smart phones providing us the ability to always be “on,” but in France, they’re reinventing the typical work day.
Unions and employers in France have come to a labor agreement that employees are not allowed to check their work-related emails once the work day is done, the Guardian reports. Although the country adopted the 35-hour work week in 1999, workers have complained about having to clock in at home.
The deal, which is legally binding, affects 250,000 employees in the tech and consultancy industries, including workers at the French branches of Google, Facebook, and Deloitte.
Under the new law – which does not have a particular time requirement – employees cannot look at their computers, phone, or anything else that has work-related content once they step out of the office. Each company must also ensure that the workers don’t feel pressure to do so.
