The averaging of work- ing hours can be effected over a period not exceeding one year. The principles according to which hours are averaged out shall be agreed locally.
Average regular working hours. The arrangement of an Employee’s regular weekly working hours can be locally agreed so that they amount, on average, to 35.5 hours a week within a maximum period of 52 weeks, taking into account, however, the effect of days off shortening the working hours as stated in section 20. In addition, at least the duration of the roster to be published, the publication, the maximum regular working hours per roster, the placement of shifts, and the maximum and minimum duration of shifts shall be agreed upon. A period of rest must be provided after a series of night shifts. A working hours adjustment system must be drawn up at least for the period during which the regular weekly working hours are adjusted to the specified average. The adjustment period should include, on average, 2 days off per week, at least one of which should be a monthly weekend day off (Sat and Sun) outside the summer holiday season. The roster to be published must contain at least the start and end times of the regular daily working hours and the days off. The Employee must be informed of the working hours adjustment system at least 2 weeks before its implementation.
Average regular working hours. Due to a sudden and unforeseeable or exceptional production-related situation, the employer may temporarily, at a three days’ notice, extend the daily regular working hours of non-shift employees to a maximum of 10 hours and the weekly working hours to a maximum of 50 hours. The payment of wages remains in line with regular working hours both when working extended working hours and when working hours are averaged, excluding hours worked on mid-week public holidays or Sundays, for which compensation is paid in accordance with actual employment and collective bargaining regulations. Locally, working hours can be changed without a notice period. Individual salaried employees may be required to work 10-hour days for a maximum of six working weeks per calendar year and for no more than two consecutive working weeks. Salaried employees have to right to refuse changes in working times under this collective agreement provision on a case-by-case basis for material and weighty personal reasons. COLLECTIVE AGREEMENT FOR SALARIED EMPLOYEES Working hours must be averaged out to an average of 40 hours per week within 52 calendar weeks. The employer draws up a preliminary averaging plan and the parties agree on the date for leave within 4 calendar weeks of the completion of the hours. If no agreement can be reached on the date of the leave, the salaried employee is entitled to average their working hours into an average of 40 hours per week subject to three weeks’ notice by taking time off primarily as full days. However, the salaried employee may not take time off as notified in the case of serious disruptions in the production of the company or during weeks for which the employer has notified the employee of the need to work extended working time in accordance with this collective agreement provision. If the leave referred to in this collective agreement provision has not been taken within 52 calendar weeks, the employer will compensate that have not been averaged out with an increase of 50% in the next salary payment.
