  • Variable working time
    The objective of this working time agreement is to adapt working time to the requirements of Erste Group Bank AG and the needs of the employees with a minimum of rules. With regard to trust-based working times, control or the electronic time and attendance system do not play a role, but this means, in relation to working time, that managers and employees must agree between themselves how to allocate working time. It is not about spending a defined amount of time at the workplace, but about delivering a result. This applies to customer service as much as to same-day transactions or project work.
