Working hours
Different working hours regulations apply for different employee categories. Teaching staff and doctoral students are covered by a separate working hours agreement for teaching staff, whereas most other employees are covered by the flexitime agreement. Additionally, some organisations and appointments are covered by other working hours agreements.
Secondary employment
The main rule is that employees dispose of their leisure time as they wish, meaning that secondary employment is permitted. It is your responsibility as a manager, however, to inform your staff of the rules concerning secondary employment and to require that they stop any unauthorised secondary employment.
