Flexible Working Hours Models

To reconcile operational and business requirements with employees' personal interests, Rheinmetall offers various flexible working hours policies in a large number of its business divisions.

Individual daily working hours are based on workload. Both longer working hours with a higher volume of work and shorter working hours with a lower workload can be implemented in this way. For the employees, this offers a high degree of autonomy over working hours and operational requirements can be aligned with individual needs.

In many areas of production, too, depending on the wage agreements, a model of flexible core working hours is operated on the basis of shift work, to suit the needs of both the company and the employees.

Flexible working hours models allow the changeable requirements of the national and international market and fluctuations in turnover to be met. Not least, this supports job security – even in times of strained economic conditions.
