working time (art.

established, shall be determined by an order of the employer (art. 139a,
para. 3 of LC). The workers and the employees on open-ended working hours shall, if
necessary, perform their duties even after the expiry of the regular working
hours (art.
139a, para. 4 of LC). In the cases of established
open-ended working hours, except for the statutory rests during the working day,
the workers and employees shall have the right to a rest of at least 15 minutes
after the expiration of the regular working hours (art. 139a,
para. 5 of LC). ) In the cases of
established open-ended working hours, the total duration of the working hours
may not breach the uninterrupted rest between the working days and between the
working weeks, established by the Labour Code (art. 139a, para. 6 of LC). Overtime work on working days shall be compensated by an additional
annual paid leave, and work on weekends and public holidays - by an increased
remuneration for overtime work (art. 139a, para. 7 of LC).
