It's the same where I work in Austria. By law, I cannot work more than 10 hours a day and a 50 hour week (although maybe this changes to 12 hour days and 60 hours a week maximums soon). Any hours worked in excess of 40 per week become compensatory time. Added to this, 90% of staff where I work have left by latest 14:00 Friday afternoon. This also seems pretty common in Austria generally.
