SHIFT WORKING TIME

While the benefits from the employer’s point of view may be obvious, shift work can have some advantages for employees

As the need for extended operating hours grows, more and more organizations are adopting work schedules that require longer and/or multiple shifts.

HR managers are often asked to ensure that the schedule satisfies both the business requirements and preferences of the workforce. However, if they are new to the job or unfamiliar with shift schedules, this can be quite a challenge.

Here are the basic steps they need to follow:

Analysis of the features in the working time in your Company

• Preparation of setting-up a new system for shift working time in accordance with the business specifics of the Company and the relevant legal framework;
• The new work organization would comply with the provisions of the Labour Code regarding the maximum duration of a working shift.

Drafting of an Employer’s Order for accumulated calculation of the working time arranging:

• Which positions and departments in the company are concerned;
• The period of time for which is applies;
• The duration of the working time per day.

Drafting a personalized working schedule for the period of accumulated calculation.

• These personalized schedules must be stored for at least 3 years after the end of the period. They must include the non-working days of the employees which means that they cannot concur with usual week holiday on Saturday and Sunday.
• The schedules for the period must guarantee at least “complete employment” of the employees which happens in full 8-hours working time.

Actualisation of the Internal Labour Regulations and Internal Rules for the Salary Organization

• In accordance with the amendments related to the establishment of shift working time and accumulated calculation.
