rugalmas munkaidő
Ein Modell bei der Arbeit, bei dem man den Beginn und das Ende des Tages in einem bestimmten Rahmen selbst wählen kann.
The German word "Gleitzeit" is a compound noun made up of two parts:
- Gleit from "gleiten" meaning "to glide" or "to slide"
- Zeit meaning "time"
Meaning:
"Gleitzeit" refers to "flexible working hours" or "flex time," where employees can vary their start and end times within certain limits.
Similar words:
- Flexible Arbeitszeiten (flexible working hours)
- Arbeitszeitkonto (working time account)
Difference:
While "flexible Arbeitszeiten" is a general term for any flexible working hours, "Gleitzeit" specifically describes a system that allows sliding start and end times around core working hours. "Arbeitszeitkonto" involves banking hours worked for later compensation, which is a different concept.
