DECLARATION
Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs
of 6 December 1994
laying down conditions for unequal distribution of working time in social care establishments
According to § 85 (1) of the Labour Code No. 65 / 1965 Coll., as amended:
Scope
This decree applies to social care facilities administered by the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs.
Conditions for uneven layout of working time
The head of a social care facility may lay down working hours for individual workplaces unevenly for each week only if justified by:
(a) the nature of the work or conditions of operation at the workplace on which the work is carried out for 24 hours for seven days a week and is provided by shifts (continuous working mode);
(b) specific operating conditions in single and multi-exchange working arrangements where work needs to be carried out at least six days a week (mainly catering and accommodation facilities, the work of educators, the guarding of objects, etc.),
(c) other serious operational reasons, in particular in isolated centres which are difficult to access by public means of transport.
Determination of maximum permissible length of shifts
(1) In order to determine the maximum available length of shifts on each working day, including legal breaks for food and rest (Section 89 of the Labour Code), the degree of workload during the working shift is decisive:
(a) at workplaces where full physical or mental loads occur during the shift (e.g. work of medical staff in the morning, manual handling of loads, etc.), a maximum of nine hours' working time may be set; only in exceptional cases where there is a danger to the operation of social care facilities, the head of social care facilities may, for a limited period of time, allow a maximum of 10 hours' working time,
(b) working hours of no more than 10 hours may be set at other workplaces;
(c) exceptionally, no more than 12 hours' working time may be fixed at such workplaces where the nature of the work during the work shift allows adequate rest (e.g. during shifts on days of rest, at night work for medical staff and at catering and accommodation facilities and surveillance),
(d) working arrangements with more than 12 hours' working time shall not be allowed.
(2) When working time is allocated, working time shall not exceed 60 hours per week, with the average weekly working time not exceeding the limit fixed for weekly working hours in the four-week period.
The Directives of the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs of the Czech Socialist Republic of 15 July 1977 No 242-1422- 21.6.1977 laying down the conditions for unequal distribution of working time in the social security sector organisations are hereby repealed.
This decree shall take effect on the day of its publication.
