From what I’ve understood in NL, the limit is on all employers simultaneously. So if you work two jobs, even if each job is within the limits, if both jobs together exceed the limits, both employers are liable.
> Under the Arbeidstijdenwet (Law on Working Hours), you must inform all your employers about your working hours. Your employer is liable for contraventions of the Arbeidstijdenwet. If you contravene, your employer may be fined. Even if he is not aware of your second job. [1]
Curiously though, it appears there are a number of cases in which the law doesn’t apply: for employees who earn 3x minimum wage or more, professional sporters, researchers, theatrical professionals, medical professionals, military personnel, summer camp guides, and volunteers. [2]
Germany: It is part of my contract that my employer knows about my other jobs and they don't interfere with my actual job. E.g. having a side business that you maintain outside your working ours is fine.
You also can't have two full-time jobs without you violating labor laws or defrauding your employer. Since if you aren't defrauding one employer you would have to work 16 hours a day, which you can not do for 5 days a week in a row. And there is no way to actually hide that your are doing this. Employers are forced to pay certain taxes for employing you which can't be payed by two different companies for the same thing.
- may not work more than 60 hours in a single week, and not more than 48 hrs/week on average
- may not work more than 12 hours in a single shift
- must rest for at least 11 consecutive hours every day, and at least 36 consecutive hours every week
- stricter rules than this for pregnant women and minors
