The Problems of the Record Keeping of the Working Time of Academic Staff According to the New Legal Conditions The Problems of the Record Keeping of the Working Time of Academic Staff According to the New Legal Conditions
Abstract
The problems of the registration of the working time of academic staff is a very complicated matter needing a deeper legal analysis. An amendment to the Higher Education Act legalizes a previous situation where the part of his duties was performed by an academic staff outside the workplace of the relevant higher education institution, i.e. outside his employer.
The division of the working time of the academic staff for a period of time, when he mainly carries out pedagogical activities and activities related to these activities, and for a period when he performs scientific and other creative activities, which he himself schedules on the place he choose, is definitely the right way. However, these amendments must be fully in line with the applicable text of the Labour Code.
A problematic area is the performance of the work of an academic staff outside the employer's workplace and the question of the length of working time, breaks at work and between shifts, the performance of night work and work on Saturdays and Sundays, as well the problems of OSH (Occupational Safety and Health).
