Common use of Transitional Arrangement Clause in Contracts

Transitional Arrangement. ‌ During the transitional period up until 1 July 1987, it will be possible to use current shift, rota and other working time arrangements. The individual contractual parties can also agree to further postpone the implementation of the reduction in working hours for the industry or companies therein, albeit not for any period beyond 1 October 1987. In weeks where transitional arrangements are used, any hours whereby working hours pursuant to shift, rota or other working time arrangements exceed, on average, the new working hours, shall be considered overtime work. The overtime allowance for any hours in which working hours under the shift, rota or other working time arrangement exceed, on average, the new working hours shall be 50% until 1 July 1987. If the individual contractual parties agree to extend the transitional period beyond 1 July 1987 up to 1 October 1987, the overtime allowance for the period shall be 75%. Compensation for the reduction in working hours shall be paid in addition to pay for any excess hours. APPENDIX 2 HOLIDAYS‌ INTRODUCTION It is a key task for the parties to improve the companies' competitiveness. With the introduction of more leisure time, it is therefore a clear prerequisite that companies are given opportunities to offset the competitive disadvantages that this entails with greater flexibility. The employees, for their part, will also have different needs for diverging working hour arrangements based on different phases of life, working and living situations, etc. Increased flexibility, together with the fifth holiday week, could contribute to reduced sick leave and increased productivity.
