Weekly rest. 8.2.1 The salaried employee shall be given at least 36 hours’ continuous leave during each seven-day period. The leave shall, as far as possible, be scheduled during a weekend. The leave may not be interrupted by standby duty or travel time. By local agreement it may be provided that the rest shall be calculated as an average during a period of two weeks. The parties agree that the main rule above regarding weekly rest shall be the basis for the employer’s planning of the work and that 36 hours’ weekly rest shall be strived for as far as possible. The parties note however that in the companies concerned there may be occasions when it due to unforeseeable events is not possible to perform the work within the framework of the main rule of the agreement. In such a situation, the consequences for the work situation of the individual employees shall be taken into consideration. 8.2.2 The assignments or operations that are primarily affected by unforeseeable events are normally of the nature of control, putting into operation, inspection or measuring in connection with an operational interruption and connected assembly/replacement of machines, or part of or an entire process plant. The work is normally located at the customer’s plant. These examples are not exhaustive, and shall serve as guidelines only. 8.2.2.1 In case an employee is unable to get his or her weekly rest according to this agreement, the employee shall have his or her weekly rest as soon as possible and within 21 days from the most closely preceding leave of at least 36 hours. The time when the employee would have had time off for normal weekly rest but instead is working, shall be compensated by overtime compensation according to the Agreement on general terms of employment. All leave to fulfil the weekly rest shall be granted as leave without a salary deduction. The leave may not be interrupted by standby duty or travel time.
