Common use of On employer’s orders Clause in Contracts

On employer’s orders. Notwithstanding section 3 of the collective agreement and the provisions of individual employment contracts and in addition to what is agreed therein, the employer may assign a maximum of 16 additional regular working hours per calendar year to each sen- ior salaried employee. Such work is assigned when necessary for production-related reasons. Additional working hours may not be scheduled on midweek public holidays or on the Saturday of a week that includes a midweek public holiday. A basic rate of pay on top of the monthly salary shall be paid for additional regular work- ing hours. A senior salaried employee may refuse to work on the employer’s orders referred to in this paragraph on a case-by-case basis for proper and weighty personal reasons. 4 TRAVE L AN D TRAINING ‌‌‌ 4.1 Compensation for travel expenses 4.2 Travel during time off 1. Compensation for time spent in travelling outside of regular working hours is agreed as necessary between a supervisor and senior salaried employee. This would oc- cur particularly in situations in which the compensation payable for travelling time pursuant to the collective agree- ment would be disproportionate to the salary payable. 2. Should duties involve a significant proportion of contin- ual or regularly recurrent travelling outside of regular working hours and the senior salaried employee con- cerned is, on account of the nature of said duties, in a position to decide on whether said travelling occurs and to determine the use of working hours, then this state of affairs shall be taken into account when determin- ing the salary payable to the senior salaried employee. 3. If a great deal of travelling pertains to temporary du- ties or to project-type work, then the amount of travelling time accrued by the senior salaried em- ployee shall be monitored. Compensation may be paid for the said travelling time, for example, as a lump sum payment made at regular intervals. Directive on travelling:‌ In case of a dispute, the matter may be referred to the federations and to the joint dispute resolution board (Appendix to the collec- tive agreement) in accordance with the negotiating procedure re- ferred to in the collective agreement.
