Article 1 Fundamental Provision

This Directive provides for flexible working hours and the recording thereof for employees of Charles University (“University”).

Article 2 General rules

1. Flexible working hours are based on the division of working hours into basic and optional.

2. In the case of optional working hours, employees determine the beginning and end of their working hours themselves. In the case of basic working hours, whose beginning and end is determined by the employer, the employee must be present at the workplace, except for breaks for meals and rest and for the performance of work duties outside the workplace on the basis of directions given by superordinate managing staff.

3. Flexible working hours do not apply to cases under Section 85 (5) of Act No. 262/2006 Sb., the Labour Code, as amended.

4. Flexible working hours are offered to as many employees as possible. Employees whose work excludes flexible working hours, or who work at a workplace operated in a manner excluding them, constitute an exception.

1. The Deans of the faculties of the University, directors of other units of the University who have been authorised to act in employment matters for the University, and the Bursar of the University will publish an implementing regulation which is to regulate in detail flexible working hours at the respective faculty or other unit of the University by 31 March 2024.
