This article examines working time in parallel employment. General considerations about working time in such an employment model are presented, including the so-called 'split employment' sometimes found in capital groups. The authors present the disadvantages of parallel employment for the individual employee and consider the legitimacy of limiting working time. In this context, they briefly comment on working time in transport — both air and road. They juxtapose the transport solutions with the working time regulations for employees of medical entities. Given the motives for limiting working time in transport, the authors consider whether a similar mechanism should not also apply to employees of medical entities.

Keywords: working time; parallel employment; capital group; working time of medical workers; working time in transport
