The working hours are to be planned in such a way that on no more than two days per week is work performed after 17:45 and on no more than every other Saturday after 14:15. These rules may be waived if there is a separate agreement in place to this effect between the employee and the company. For those employed in shops which open on Sundays, the working hours shall as a general rule be planned so that the employee has eight weekends off, from the end of work on a Friday to the start of work on a Monday, over a 16-week period. Every endeavour should be made to allocate these weekends off in such a way that a maximum of two consecutive Sundays are worked. It is agreed that time off at weekends shall be distributed appropriately over the schedule period in such a way that two consecutive weekends worked, where possible given the company’s operational needs, shall be followed by two consecutive weekends off. Where it can be reasonably justified by the company’s circumstances, the working hours may be planned in such a way that rather than the aforementioned time off at weekends, • time off at another time in the schedule period may be granted with 20 minutes for every hour’s effective working time performed on Sundays; or •

Where it can be reasonably justified by the enterprise’s circumstances, the working hours may be planned in such a way that rather than the aforementioned time off at weekends, • time off at another time in the schedule period may be granted with 20 minutes for every hour’s effective working time performed on Sundays; or • a special supplement may be paid equivalent to 1/3 of the employee’s personal hourly rate for every hour’s effective working time. Compensatory leave or payment is only granted for work where the number of working Sundays exceeds eight calculated over a 16-week period. Shops closed on Sundays For those employed in shops which are not open on Sundays, the working hours shall as a general rule be planned so that the employee has eight weekends off, from the end of work on a Friday to the start of work on a Monday, over a 16-week period, cf. also paragraph 3 of point c. This general rule may be waived if there is a separate agreement in place to this effect between the employee and the enterprise. The provisions in sentences 1 and 2 of this paragraph shall also apply to employees who are employed in shops which are open on Sundays, but where the employee does not work on Sundays.
