The working hours agreement includes a number of provisions on the calculation of working hours. In the following, we review the rules in the agreement. However, please note that deviations from the agreement are permitted if the school’s administrator and the teachers’ trade union representative have reached a local agreement.
Your working hours are not only calculated at the end of the school year. The school must, at least once every three months, give you a status report on your time worked, i.e. how many hours you have worked in the period. There are no formal requirements regarding the nature of this status report – it must simply fulfil the purpose and give you assurance of how much you have worked.
It is not until the comprehensive calculation at the end of the school year that you will receive information about overtime or additional work pay.
The school’s administrator may require you to register your working hours for use in preparing this status report and the concluding working hours statement. However, the school must provide a registration system for you to use.
Your task overview, for example in Viggo, cannot serve as a status report or your working hours statement. The working hours statement must include a specified count or registration of your actual time worked during the period.
If the trade union representative and the school’s administrator have reached a piecework agreement for parts of the working hours or for certain tasks, this piecework will be included in the status report and the working hours statement, but the hours that are part of the piecework agreement will not be counted specifically.
A piecework agreement is an agreement on how many hours you are allocated to perform a particular task. You will be credited with this number of hours regardless of how many hours you have actually spent working on the task.
If all tasks and all working hours are covered by a piecework agreement, the administrator does not have to count the actual time worked. In such cases, only unforeseen tasks or changes need to be counted.
However, you must still be provided with your status report and the final working hours statement.
