Summary

The bill creates an opportunity for employers and employees to enter into flexible working time agreements. A flexible working time agreement allows the employee to work additional hours in addition to the agreed working hours, if desired, until the full working time norm is met. The conditions that must be fulfilled in order to conclude a flexible working time agreement are stipulated, for example, a written form, the employee's hourly wage is at least 1.2 times the minimum hourly wage, working hours are at least 10 hours in a 7-day during the period etc. The changes make it possible to provide both the employer and the employee with a more flexible work arrangement than before and for them to cope better in conditions where the employer's workload and labor needs fluctuate and the employee's ability and willingness to perform work varies from period to period. An important goal is to reduce the desire of employers to enter into other contractual agreements in addition to the employment contract, such as an employment contract or agency contract, which do not guarantee employees adequate social guarantees and necessary occupational protection.
