The Government of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, after consulting the Central Council of Trade Unions, established by order of 1 April 1976 pursuant to Paragraph 83 (3) of the Labour Code:
Adjustment of working time
(1) The working time provided for in Decree No. 63 / 1968 Coll., on the principles for reducing weekly working time and for implementing operating and working arrangements with a five-day working week, or under other regulations issued by the central authorities to reduce weekly working time, is adjusted in 1977 so that the working days are also Saturdays, covering 16 April, 24 September and 12 November.
(2) The length of the additional working shifts on the dates referred to in the preceding paragraph is equal to the length of the shift fixed in the organisation for the Friday preceding that shift.
(3) If, according to the schedule of working shifts, a worker's regular shift for one of the working days referred to in paragraph 1 occurs, the organisation shall, after consultation with the race committee of the basic organization of the Revolutionary Trade Union Movement (hereinafter referred to as the "racing committee '), appoint that worker another working shift for another appropriate day in the same month.
(4) Organisations may, with the agreement of the racing committee, state bodies may, after consulting it, move the second and third shifts to other suitable days in the same month at intermittent workplaces, covering the days referred to in paragraph 1.
(5) The working time arrangements referred to in paragraph 1 shall also apply to workers who have an agreed shorter working time with the organisation (Sections 86 and 156 (2) of the Labour Code), with the exception of workers whose working time is reduced on the basis of a medical opinion and an extension of the working time by an additional shift would exceed the maximum number of hours for which the worker can work under this assessment in a week.
(6) Working hours shall not be adjusted to young workers under 16 years of age, to permanent workers, to workers with working hours evenly spread out to 6 days a week and to workers in establishments where working time has been reduced for health reasons.
(7) If, as a result of the adjustment of the working time referred to in paragraph 1, a worker would not have one day of continuous rest in a week, the organisation shall, after consulting the racing committee, transfer one working shift from that week to one day of continuous rest in another week of that month.
(8) If a worker is on leave in parts of less than a week by taking up an additional shift, the total number of days of his leave resulting from the normal working arrangements in the organisation does not change. The compensation for the salary of a recuperated holiday shall be paid to the worker to whom it would have been due by the time of the recuperation of one of the other shifts, for as many working days of leave as he had been deprived of according to the schedule of shifts extended by the next shift.
(9) The working hours of business and service workers with contact with customers, workers supplying business premises, service workers and public transport workers shall be determined by the organisation in accordance with the general guidelines for the adaptation of operating arrangements to be issued by the competent central authorities in the context of the creation of three continuous working days, taking into account the needs of the population and socialist organisations.
Remuneration
(10) Work in subsequent shifts (paragraph 1) shall be subject to a wage equal to that laid down in the wage rules. The worker's monthly salary shall not be increased in connection with the work of further working shifts.
(11) If an additional shift is to be made to a worker for another Saturday or Sunday in connection with the provisions of paragraphs 3 or 7 of this Decree, he shall be entitled to benefit from the work on Saturdays and Sundays. 1)
(12) For work carried out on the days referred to in paragraph 1, the worker shall not benefit from a wage advantage for work on Saturdays and Sundays, 1) even if it is not work in subsequent shifts.
(13) Working in other shifts is not overtime, and therefore the worker does not have an overtime allowance or a replacement leave under Section 116 of the Labour Code.
Final provision
(14) This decree shall take effect on the day of its publication.
