For my research, I'm making an overview of types of flexible labour arrangements in different types of welfare states. Are there any suggestions on other types of flexible labor organization in other countries?
Dries Van Gasse - in Russian practice of using the term "regime of flexible working time", which is defined on the basis of a bilateral agreement. Work in the "mode of flexible working time" allows the employee to determine the time of arrival and departure from work, provided that some specific, fixed time during the working day, he must be present at work and at the same time fully to work set for him norm hours worked for an accounting period.
If this you're interested - I can write sossylkami more about this type of agreements.
The agreement does not have a specific name, he called the operation "mode of flexible working time." It adjusted according to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation (Article 102).
Regime elements (graphics) flexible working hours are as follows:
variable (flexible) time at the beginning and end of the working day (shift), within which an employee is entitled to start and finish work at their own discretion;
fixed time - the time the compulsory attendance of all employees a flexible time schedule in the division of the enterprise;
break for food and rest (the actual duration is not included in working hours);
duration (type) of the accounting period, which determines the calendar time (day, week, month, and so on. d.) during which the employee must be worked out rules established by legislation of working time.
Flexible working is used when an individual, and the brigade form of labor organization. In such cases, the staff team allows individual employees according to their individual needs in the free time to start and finish time to an earlier or later time.
The introduction of flexible working in groups or permission to work on such a schedule is made by the order of individual employees of the employer.
