Return hours? That doesn't work like that
De AOb regularly receives questions about the rounding of the working time factor. Schools then indicate that they have to work with working time factors of one decimal place, because the collective labor agreement prescribes this. How about this actually?
Picture: Type tank
The working time factor is another term for a part-time percentage, for example: a 40-hour working week has a working time factor of 1,0 and a 24-hour working week has a working time factor of 0,6. In practice, the working time factor is often not rounded to one decimal place. Working time factors such as 0,8620 or 0,2475 are the rule rather than the exception.
The origin of these specific working time factors may lie in the (former) working hours scheme, the length of the working days, or the roster. In any case, the working time factor is an agreed size of relationship between the school and the employee.
Equal days model
A frequently heard request from the school management is to hand in hours, because they work with the equal days model. So if you wanted to work with a working time factor of 0,8620 on 4 days, it would cost you 0,0620, because the school management calculates with 4 x 0,2 = 0,8.
Another variant is that you should come back to make up for the extra hours. With the said working time factor of 0,8620 you have to compensate for the 0,0620 at some point.
Obligate
However, the submission of hours cannot be required by the school management. After all, these hours were agreed upon when the appointment was made. In addition, it must be agreed on the basis of your annual task how the hours will be divided. The school management cannot unilaterally determine that you spend your “surplus” hours teaching lessons; these hours can easily be used up in the annual task for other (not time- or place-related) tasks.
