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. 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.
