"Au cours des trois dernières décennies, force est de constater qu'un processus de dérégulation du repos dominical, illustré par les lois Maillé (2009) et Macron (2015), tend à banaliser le travail le dimanche. Retour en arrière ou modernisation ? Quel en est l'impact sur les conditions de vie et de travail des individus concernés ?
À l'appui de recherches historiques et de comparaisons internationales, cet ouvrage analyse le dimanche comme étant à la fois un marqueur temporel, miroir des évolutions sociales et des mentalités individuelles, et un objet de luttes sociales. C'est d'ailleurs sur ces batailles « du dimanche » que les auteurs reviennent afin de montrer que le travail dominical ne doit être appréhendé qu'au prisme de son utilité sociale, soit à l'aune des attentes de la population, et non pas au regard de présupposés idéologiques."

"Ensuring workers' right to rest periods is a core issue of labour law and a significant element of just working conditions. Therefore, working hours have been limited and minimum rest periods have been ensured by rules established on international and EU level. However, the concept of rest period and the rules securing this right are challenged by digitalisation and the use of ICT tools at the workplace which changes how working time and rest periods are perceived by blurring the line between them. Constant connectivity makes it difficult to distinguish working time from rest periods. While employees require a certain amount of flexibility in organising their working hours, it is important to provide them continuous and uninterrupted rest periods. In this paper, I will attempt to analyse the definition of the right to rest period and the risks of digitalisation on such periods as well as the responses to these risks on national and EU level."

"Research on working time legislation exists, but little has been done to examine the specific provisions about rest periods in and how they can supplement national working time legislation.1 This paper seeks to fill this lacuna. First, it will examine national legislation on weekly working hour limits and identify some key issues that affect a worker's ability to get rest. Subsequently, it will examine the specific provisions on rest periods in international standards and national legislation, focusing on four key areas: rest periods during the work day, daily rest, weekly rest, and annual leave. It will then conclude with some final observations."
