Both DGB collective agreements provide for a 35-hour week, which results in a standard working time of 151.67 hours a month. The actual working time for employees will be regulated according to the actual weekly working time at the user company. Differences between the standard working time and the hours actually worked will be saved in the form of time credits in an individual working time account (Arbeitszeitkonto). Whereas the DGB-BZA agreement allows for a maximum of 230 hours to be saved, the limit in the DGB-iGZ agreement is 150 hours. Employees will have the right to take time off in lieu for such hours. The DGB-BZA agreement additionally allows for a certain amount of saved working time credits to be paid in cash.
