Operational shank is a term of the German industrial law, under which one describes different forms of the readiness and/or holding ready for work by employees. An exact legal definition for the operational shank does not give it, generally becomes by this one "awake eight-SAMness in the condition to the relaxation "verstandenvgl. BAG from 14 April 1955, in: AP No. 3 too "§ 13 AZO.
In a recent decision the Federal Labor Court has the term of the work readiness and/or on-call service defined than the time interval, while those the employee, without it would have to be directly present on the job, for purposes of the enterprise at one of the employer intended themselves place within or outside of the enterprise to stop has, thus it its full work activity immediately or time near to if required take up can BAG 18 February 2003 - 1 ABR 2/02 - AP BGB "§ 611 operational shank No. 12 = EzA ArbZG "§ 7 No. 4.
The operational shank may be required and can within the European Union by the employer only if for the waiting period an appropriate salary were paid and an obligation were agreed upon in writing to operational shank in the work contract. If the readiness should on the part of the employer required or to be waited, without adjusting and/or pay afterwards these work times in spare time, this is, in particular with a remarkable disproportion between achievement and return, to the compensation obligates. In Germany corresponding payment agreements the elementary justice requirements (according to kind 2 exp. 1 and kind 20 exp. 1 GG) must are sufficient see BAG 5 AZR 303/03.
In this connection "the operational shank judgement "of the European Court of Justice from 9 September 2003 http://curia.eu.int/de/actu/activites/index.htm EuGH C-151/02 is) No. 22-03. extremely importantly: Due to the tuning of the European Union parliament from 11 May 2005 over (that-outlaw new http://www.europarl.europa.eu/registre/seance_pleniere/textes_adoptes/definitif/2005/05-11/0175/P6_TA(2005)0175_DE.pdf) guideline 2003/88/EG over with the first reading with - majority was co-ordinated, can and/or will as "Opt out "- clause (right) (freiwillige operational shank) so not into force to step. Security and health of the employees is to ensure the first work time guideline 93/104/EG over certain aspects of the work time organization by grant of minimum rest periods and appropriate Ruhepausen. The sector-specific guideline 2002/15 EEC for the motorist occupation and/or driving personnel is only on 11 April 2007 iZm. the Blax box and/or driver map applicably and must be converted before into the German domestic right. The characteristic characteristics of the term "work time defines the EUROPEAN UNION guideline "as each time interval, while some employee works in accordance with the legislation and/or customs of the individual nations, to which employer is at the disposal, exercises an activity or notices tasks. With respect to the EUROPEAN UNION industrial law (IPR/tariff) differentiates mitlerweile between "operational shank ", "on-call service "and "call readiness ". Only the operational shank is in its entirety considered as a work time. On-call service and the call readiness will be able or against it as rest period to be treated, with exception during interruption, the duration the perception of vocational tasks and become in veschiedenen tariffs of the EUROPEAN UNION countries also in such a way handled.
It is an obligation AG, that in favor of the Fernfahrers valid laws, regulations and collective agreement and/or work times to be kept see BAG 1 ABR 13/02. The Fernfahrer got no over and/or operational shank affair in the work contract with overall wage agreements, in most cases, stated. If these were excluded, and/or in the work contract are not contained and to be nevertheless regularly required, an offence against the proof guideline is proven and/or to the NachwG. The AG, which after "§ 2 Abs.1 Nr.6, 7 and "§ 3 NachwG did not follow the legal documentation obligation, iZm. the work contract, have a proof problem. The TRUCK driver is a right to duty to supply information of the work contract and the work time recordings AG, which were often not transacted. An obligation AG for the instruction of the Fernfahrers contains to state and/or explain over the regulations valid for its work contract or its employer-employee relationship, the relevant of the individual nations ones and/or German legislation clearly comprehensibly and understandably. This must happen in written form and to it belong also evt. resulting and permitted over and/or operational shank hours, as well as factory regulations, the employment agreements and responsible collective agreements.
Due to the proof guideline, which was converted in the entire European Union into the national right, brings it in Germany, with the reference to kind to 4 NachwG, for the work time iZm. the BMT far from. (Federal general wages agreement contract) no improvement, because also the general reference to a law is not sufficient and/or/or collective agreement. There at present only from maximum work times to 216.5 hr./month and/or work times up to 10 hr./day one speaks (starting from 11 April 2007 only 208 hr./month/average). The aftereffect of the BMT (federal general wages agreement contract for the goods and furniture traffic) in the starting from 1 July 1992 lets greet and if in the work contract at present from wages the speech is, it refers in each case to the 40 hr./week and/or the eight (8) hr./day and/or 173 hr./month. The laws and regulations must the employer absolutely know ("§ 276 Abs.1 BGB), because if these are not accordingly considered, acts the AG in principle negligently. Here is given the provable adhesion AG and becomes thus compensation requiring. The Fernfahrer is to be informed during operational shank and/or overtime a request or an arrangement clearly and unmistakably before in writing by the work contract of it, which concerns its work obligations and with an omission goes it on one side debited to AG, in which it makes itself compensation requiring. Thus by the proof law for the work contract a burden of proof reversal was introduced to favour of the employee see EuGH C-350/99 v. 08.02.01.
It does not become in principle of AG, a previous flatable arrangement for that tracing, among other things iZm. the theft safety device on a guarded parking lot possible made. There are in the European Union only in Italy guarded parking lots to visit otherwise none in Western Europe where the Fernfahrer the truck to leave can, in order elsewhere an overnight accomodation accomodation. The genuine "break "during the guidance time interruption, is not permitted the Fernfahrer, because the truck for actual and legal insurance reasons are made impossible see BAG leave 4 AZR 562/91 // 1 AZR 603/01.
With the freiwilligen of the Fernfahrer between two tours and/or guidance time periods, it requires wanted break or the rest period of at least eight (8) coherent hours not in advance a being fixed interruption of the work time, - in that the Fernfahrer Arbeit to carry out and/or for it ready hold having separates itself it must a free order over the fact exist where and as he wants to spend its a tracing and/or rest period. The crucial criterion is ready the exemption of each obligation for the service to keep themselves and the truck leave, only it this not possible made see BAG 2 AZR 633/88.
Here the difference between public right (= guidance time interruption) and private law (= operational shank) is to be absolutely considered, because the Fernfahrer, who must be at from AG the determined place and time am/im the truck and/or make available, - no vocational activity exercising may be well written under private law (work contract) not as rest period accounted for (recognized in the public right) and must in the wage account.
With transportation activities are continuous control activities of the refrigerators and the supervision of the truck iZm. the theft safety device, of in principle valuable charges, of AG instructed, over if necessary immediately to intervene if itself foreigner to create non entitled persons at the truck make. The personal place of residence during "the rest period ", can be determined by the Fernfahrer not freely, as a component of control temperature of sensitive goods, to e.g. implement how ice and milk products and the perception of its theft safeguard tasks of electronically high-quality goods etc. around the orders for transportation, safe after the will of the sender.
