Scheduling of working hours. When working hours are being scheduled, both the needs of the business as well as the needs and wishes of the salaried employees shall be taken into consideration. The aim shall be, as far as possible, to take into consideration the salaried employee’s ability to combine work with family and other social life. The individual salaried employee is entitled to have his wishes concerning the level and scheduling of working hours considered by the employer. If the salaried employee’s wishes cannot be accommodated, the employer shall upon request state the reasons therefor. The individual salaried employee’s wishes shall also be weighed against the needs and wishes of other salaried employees. In connection with a change in the salaried employee’s working hours, the employer shall inform the salaried employee not less than one month before the change is made.
Scheduling of working hours. The extent of the normal working hours and the day and week in which they are scheduled are set by local agreement. When deciding on a schedule of working hours, the companies’ need to carry on efficient, rational, customer-friendly and competitive operations as well as the legitimate interests of the employees such as family, health and the possibility of travelling to and from the place of work, should be taken into account. When scheduling the work hours, work during the holidays shall be spread as evenly as possible among the staff. Working schedules must be drawn up for each place of work. If the parties have not reached an agreement concerning working hours, the normal working hours will be a maximum of nine hours per shift for a maximum of five shifts per week.
Scheduling of working hours. The normal daily working hours are between 6.00 am and 5.00 pm. The shop xxxxxxx must be consulted before the working hours are scheduled. Duty rosters are prepared locally with due consideration given to both employees and the enterprise. The normal working hours for the first shift are between the hours of 7.00 am and 5.00 pm on the first five days of the week and between the hours of 7.00 am and 1.00 pm on Saturdays. The working hours are between the hours of 5.30 am and 6.00 pm. Deviation from the normal working hours is subject to agreement between the local par- ties. If such agreement is made, it will apply to the remaining part of the term of the col- lective agreement. However, the maximum daily working hours are nine, including rest breaks in connection with piecework. For individual employees or groups of employees, the enterprise may schedule normal daily working hours between the hours of 5.30 am and 6 pm which deviate from the normal daily working hours in the department, provided that such new working hours are to apply for more than one payroll week and that notice is given on Friday before the end of normal working hours, at the latest. However, for lorry drivers, working hours may be between 6.30 am and 6.30 pm. If the enterprise uses other employees as lorry drivers, such employees may only work during the working hours scheduled for lorry drivers. The working hours are scheduled in consideration of the individual enterprises' require- ments (for at least one year at a time) between the hours of 6.00 am and 6.00 pm. Deviation from the normal daily working hours is subject to agreement between the local parties. If work is scheduled for Saturdays/Sundays for the day shift, only the staff employed for work on such days may be used. Staff employed at the enterprise must be offered such work first. It has been agreed that no employees may be dismissed on the grounds that they do not wish to work during such changed working hours. The current normal daily working hours for the individual enterprises and the scheduling of such working hours are maintained during the term of the collective agreement, unless the works council has considered a change to the working hours, or a change is required by reason of a reduction of working hours.
