Women, Night Work by: the Federal Law on Nighttime Work Performed by 
Women of 1969, BGBl 1969/237 (FrNArbG), prohibits employing women to 
perform work at night. Night is defined as a period of time of at 
least 11 subsequent hours, embracing the hours between 8 p.m. to 6 
a.m. The law also provides for numerous exceptions; in principle the 
prohibition of night work applies to office work, the service sector 
and the areas of production and trade. As a gender-specific ban of 
nighttime work violates decisions handed down by the European Court of 
Justice, the EU accession treaty allows for a transitional period for 
Austria up to the year 2001.  Working Women, Protection of.
