Contract Elements (Infotype 0016): Working Time Directive 

Definition

Infotype Contract Elements (0016) contains additional fields for the Working Time Directive functionality for Great Britain. The two fields involved, WTD opted out indicator and working time limit, are located within the working time directive group box.

 

Use

The European Working Time Directive requires employers to keep records showing:

• Which employees have agreed to work more than the 48-hour average weekly limit
• The conditions that apply to the agreement (for example, that it ceases to apply in specified circumstances)
• The actual hours worked by each employee to whom such an agreement applies.

 

The WTD opted out indicator allows you to record all employees who have agreed to "opt out". If applicable, the new working time limit agreed on by the employer and employee can be entered in the working time limit field.
