Flexible labour law provisions

As part of the protection package, the rules of working time banking become even more flexible.

The currently applicable rules of the Labour Code provide for the possibility of setting the working time banking system at a maximum of 4 months or 16 weeks. Beyond these, the period of working time banking may go up to 6 months or 26 weeks for uninterrupted working schedule or at employers having several working shifts, at seasonal works, at jobs under the stand-by scheme and at passenger transportation and cargo.

According to the new regulations, the working time banking might be increased to 24 months. This also applies to already ongoing working time banking started before April 11. Only with limited exceptions, it is not possible to override the daily and weekly working time maximums; further, the rules of daily and weekly rest days and weekly rest times. This possibility gives more flexibility to the employer to compensate the already missed work capacities without more financial losses within the working time banking.
