Postponement of weekly day off. To the extent possible, the weekly day off shall be on Sunday and to the extent possible, those working at the same company or at the same fixed place of work shall have their day off on that day. A company may nevertheless postpone the weekly day off with an agreement with employees, where special circumstances make such an exception necessary. If there is a special need to schedule work in such a way that the weekly day off is postponed, a collective agreement shall be made on this. It is then allowed to take the day off in such a manner that 2 days off are taken together every other weekend (Saturday and Sunday). If days off on the other hand, fall on weekdays for unforeseen reasons, this does not impair the rights of employees to fixed wages and shift premium. If an employee needs to travel abroad on unpaid holiday days at the request of the company, then on his/her return home he shall receive time off equivalent to 8-day work hours for each day off that he missed if this has not been taken into account when deciding wages. The taking of these days off is handled in the same manner as decided in the chapter on minimum rest and days off.
Postponement of weekly day off. To the extent possible, the weekly day off should fall on a Sunday, and to the extent possible, everyone employed by the same company or at the same fixed workplace should have that day off. The company may, upon agreement with employees, postpone the weekly day off in cases where circumstances necessitate it. If there is a particular reason to schedule work in such a way that the weekly day off is postponed, an agreement to this effect shall be made. Days off may therefore be managed such that two are taken every other weekend (Saturday and Sunday). If days off should fall on business days due to unforeseen reasons, employees’ rights to fixed wages and shit premiums will not be restricted. If the company requests that an employee travel internationally on unpaid days off, the employee shall receive time off corresponding to 8 daytime working hours for every day off lost, on the condition that the wages determined do not take international travel into consideration. Taking time off under these conditions is done in the same way as determined in the chapter on minimum rest and time off.
