Different working days for working students
K
Katharina Schöner
Since working students usually work more during lecture-free periods and less during the semester, we are currently making do with different contract periods. In fact, the change in working hours depending on the semester period is already regulated in the working student contract, so it is not actually a new contract.
Example: Average working time per week according to contract: 16 h
During semester break: up to 40 hours a week
During the semester: 8h week
A type of reverse absence would be desirable, so that the working student could request additional days of attendance (analogous to vacation requests) and these days would then also be shown as present in the absence calendar.
Since working students are only allowed a maximum of 26 weeks per 12 months over 20:00 a week, an evaluation of this would also be desirable.

We have solved this by introducing a type of absence called “additional presence” for us. Then at least it will be visible to everyone on the calendar.

Hi Katharina, thanks for your suggestion.
Do I understand correctly that you are looking for a more flexible way to display the varying working hours of working students transparently and in accordance with the rules?
As a further point, you would like to be able to track when working students exceed the legally required working time - in this case 26 weeks with more than 20 hours.
It is also important for me to understand what specific challenges you are currently facing. Would you like to tell me in more detail in which situations and for which roles this information is important?
• What problems arise as a result of the current handling?
• Which processes are you currently using as a workaround?
• Which roles require information about working time (HR, supervisors, payroll?) and for what purpose (Kapa planning, vacation planning, compliance...)?
• How is it currently ensured that working students do not exceed the 26-week limit of >20 hours per week?
• Does the working student set his own working hours flexibly, or does this require a permit?
Thank you very much for your comments and look forward to your feedback.
