Contracts of employment may be supplemented, for example, by additional rules
such as:
- rules on working time
- employees' rules
- working rules
- bonus rules
- internal rules
- prohibition of competition, etc.
Additions to contracts of employment differ from enterprise to enterprise. In
some cases there may be no additions, or else the additions may be covered
direct by a clause in the employment contract. The additional rules are normally
handed over at the time of conclusion of the contract of employment. However, it
is preferable to obtain information from the employer before signing the
contract of employment.
In the industrial sector, the law requires a schedule of internal rules.
These are agreed in writing between the employer and the workers' freely
chosen representative or drawn up by the employer after consulting the
workforce. The internal rules must contain provisions on health protection and
accident prevention and, if necessary, on employee conduct and order within the
enterprise. They may also contain further provisions on employer/employee
relations. The schedule of internal rules must be displayed conspicuously in the
enterprise or supplied to all employees.
