About the BARTIME Project
Most Collective Agreements (CBAs) fix pay levels based on a standard working week and typically include provisions for monetary rewards related to non-standard working hours. However, there is a lack of understanding of the specificities of these provisions across European countries. BARTIME will examine the rewards for non-standard hours.
The project is funded by the European Commission (SOCPL-2022-IND-REL-01) and will run between 2023-25, covering 24 EU countries. See more about the project here.
About the Experts Meeting
An expert meeting will be held on Tuesday, the 18th of February between 2-4:30 PM CET. It will involve discussions around compensation for inconvenient hours (night work, weekend work, shift work), the inclusion of these provisions in collective agreements, and the rate of compensation.
