Organization of Working Time
Flexibility in terms of time plays a major role in our everyday lives. The importance of having a good work-life balance becomes even more obvious when you have to care for your children or other relatives. Therefore, the University of Mannheim supports you in reconciling work and family life.
-
Telework
Work one day a week from home. If you have family-related responsibilities, you can even work up to 50 percent of your regular weekly working hours from home.
Do you have to care for your sick child or one of your relatives? Then you can also work from home upon prior approval.
-
Flexitime model
Scheduling all your appointments with the doctor or workmen for the weekend can be difficult. The flexitime model of the University of Mannheim allows you to schedule your appointments according to your needs. Reduce your accrued overtime. As a rule, you can do this before or after the core work time of 10 a.m. to 3 p.m; yet, under certain circumstances, this is also possible within the core work time. Provided that your child is sick or you have to care for a relative who is in need of care, you can also reduce your accrued overtime on up to five days in a row.
The Working Time Agreement defines the relevant details.
