Legal Advice on Working Hours and Schedules
Questioner
I work in a seasonal industry, which means that we work a lot of overtime in the summer. The employer wants to reduce this in phases in the winter. The solution they came up with is that we have a summer and a winter schedule. This means that if you work 40 hours a week, you work 8 hours a day in the summer and 7 hours a day in the winter. My question is, is the employer allowed to just decide/do this? My preference is for example a longer period of time off in a closed space. Note: we do not have a collective labor agreementLawyer
You cannot always refuse a reasonable request. You are appealing to the Working Hours Act to ensure that you do not work more than 60 hours per week. For more than 16 weeks, the maximum is 48 hours per week. Are you also aware that you are entitled to a break of more than 30 minutes for 5.5 hours of work. I have worked with argumentation before.Questioner
Thank you for your response. How do you determine what is reasonable?Lawyer
For example, a request is unreasonable if it means you have to go to work several times in 24 hours. With the Flexible Working Act, you submit a request to change working hours. You then request a change in how working hours are divided. This is how you can change working hours.Neem de volgende stap
