Ministry analysis of the possibility of reducing working time
The Director of the Labour Law Department informs us that the Ministry of Family, Labour and Social Policy is analysing reducing working time. The ministry has also requested institutes to research how long an employee is able to work effectively in a day. In addition, commercial analyses are being undertaken as to the cost of reducing working time.
On the basis of the studies that have been ordered and ongoing analyses, the ministry is to decide which of the proposed solutions to choose - reducing the working week to four days or reducing the average weekly working time norm to 35 hours. At the same time, the ministry has announced that there will be broad public consultation before any changes are implemented.
