Common use of Recording of working hours Clause in Contracts

Recording of working hours. 2.5.1. An employee's working hours are counted from the time the employee arrives at work as directed by the supervisor or employer until the employee leaves work, excluding lunch hours from 12:00 PM to 01:00 PM. 2 This applies if work is carried out within a transit line that is demarcated by the Reykjavík Municipal Bus Service route network with the exception of Kjalarnes, and by the bus route network through Kópavogur in the area of the Efling labour union, and employees must report to work on their own time and independently within the above limits. It is assumed that bus journeys are such that the distance from the closest stop to the workplace is not longer than is considered normal in the general bus network. (However, see the protocol on changes to transit lines on page 160.) 3 If employees are posted from a place of employment/workplace within the above limits to work outside said limits, the employer shall arrange transport, assuming that journeys outside the transit line are during working hours. This applies if the employee works in the union area. 2.5.2. The decision regarding the meeting place for the transportation of employees to the workplace and place to which employees are to be returned after work shall be taken on a case-by-case basis in consultation with the employees concerned. If, owing to the lack of means of transport or for other reasons beyond the fault of the employees, employees are unable to leave their workplace, they shall be entitled to full pay during the waiting period and until they are transported to their destination within the transit line. 2.5.3. Signing employees out of work during coffee or meal breaks on overtime is not authorised, with the exception of evening meal breaks. In such instances, these coffee and meal breaks shall be paid in addition to other hours worked. 2.5.4. Employees must be signed in during working hours and will receive wages for the quarter-hour during which they are clocked out. 2.5.5. If an employee arrives to work late, he/she cannot claim wages for the quarter-hour during which he/she arrives nor for the time elapsed prior to arrival.
