The problem with German student work laws
As an international student in Germany, you juggle overlapping restrictions: the 20-hour Werkstudentenprivileg during semesters, the 10-hour daily ArbZG cap, and — if you're non-EU — the 140 full days per year limit.
Break one by accident and consequences range from losing your student health insurance rate to visa complications. Yet most students track hours in a notes app or just wing it.
WorkLimit gives you a single dashboard that knows every rule and warns you before you go over.
