Length of working hours Annual standard. (1) The effective working time for full-time employees is 1924 hours on an annual basis. Effective work- ing hours are defined as excluding breaks and other time off, if any. Employees whose average weekly working hours are less than 37 hours (part-time employees) must be treated proportionally to how many hours they work. Employees working according to the rules on extended working hours as well as part-time employees must have an annual standard corresponding to that of employees with normal working hours and are consequently entitled to time off in lieu when a planned work-free day falls on a public holiday not fall- ing on a Sunday. The Group and Finansforbundet in Danske Bank have agreed that the provision shall be administered as follows: Note: The reason for the rule on time off in lieu in respect of Danish public holidays not falling on a Sunday is that employees who do not work all weekdays must have the same standard working hours as employ- ees working all weekdays. In such cases, the employees must be compensated in respect of their an- nual working hours for any Danish public holidays not falling on a Sunday that are falling on non-work- ing days. Employees who have one or more agreed working days Monday – Friday are entitled to compensatory hours for Danish public holidays not falling on a Sunday if the day falls on a non-working day. The com- pensatory hours are calculated according to the monthly time norm, which is the average number of working hours per month. Time off in lieu is calculated using the following formula: Standard hours per month x 12 months/52 weeks/5 days = number of hours and minutes per day. Dec- imal places must be converted to minutes: minutes x 60/100 Time off in lieu for employees working 37 hours over 2, 3 or 4 days is 7 hours and 24 minutes.
