Bill: Introducing working rules
Details
Submitted by[?]: Hobrazian Peoples Party
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: January 2576
Description[?]:
| We believe that the hobrazian system of deciding working hours should be changed. In stead of having a free market we should protect the workers from abuse and capitalistic constraints. Therefore it should be up to the Goverment to decide working hours. Following rules will decide the working hours and where there is room for it, the trade unions and employer associations will decide: # The general principle regulating the working hours is a maximum of either 8h per day or 48 hours per week. But with shift work for example the maxima may be increased to eleven per day and fifty per week. In cases where work cannot be interrupted, the limit rises to 12 hours per day. # Night work is defined as work performed between 20.00 and 06.00 hours. Night work is, in principle, prohibited but there are many exceptions to this: hotels, events firms, health care, etc. Except when the law makes provision to the contrary, working on public holidays is prohibited. # Flexible working hours permit to adapt working hours to the actual needs of a company (e.g. annualisation of working hours). Overtime is defined as time spent working over and above normal hours. # Overtime must be compensated by time off allocated during the same quarter in which the overtime was performed. In addition, working time that exceeds nine hours per day or 40 hours per week entitles the employee to a payment on top of his normal wage of 50 %, or 100% in case of overtime on holidays. # Shift work does not entitle employees to additional payments, unless the time worked is overtime as defined above. Full employment throughout the whole year confers entitlement to 28 days holiday the following year. If the employee has not worked the full year, the number of days leave is reduced proportionately. |
