Abstract
Arbeitszeitkonten haben sich in den letzten Jahren massiv verbreitet. Mittlerweile verfügen mindestens 37% der abhängig Beschäftigten über Arbeitszeitkonten. In mindestens 60% der Betriebe sind unterschiedliche Formen von Arbeitszeitkonten eingeführt. Sie revolutionieren das Arbeitszeitsystem und ersetzen das bisherige Leitbild der Normalarbeitszeit durch variable Arbeitszeitformen. Kennzeichnend für die Struktur von Arbeitszeitkonten ist eine Balance von Deregulierung und Reregulierung. Arbeitszeitkonten haben, weil sie zu einem Abbau von bezahlten, vor allem von unbezahlten Überstunden führen, beschäftigungsfördernde Effekte. Zugleich scheinen diese Effekte wieder durch Produktivitätssteigerungen, die ebenfalls aus dem Einsatz von Arbeitszeitkonten resultieren, zumindest teilweise kompensiert zu werden. Schließlich nützen Arbeitszeitkonten aus der Sicht der Beschäftigten den Betrieben und den Beschäftigten gleichermaßen.
Working time accounts have recently become very common. At least 37 % of the dependently employed now make use of working time accounts. In at least 60 % of firms various forms of working time accounts have been introduced. Consequently, working time systems have been revolutionized; the previous model of standard working time has been replaced by variable forms of working time. Characteristic for the structure of working time accounts is a balance of deregulation and re-regulation. Since usage of this form of working time leads to an elimination of paid and above all unpaid overtime, working time accounts promotes employment. At the same time, such effects seem again to be compensated by increases in productivity which are also the result of using working time accounts. Finally, from the view of employees, working time accounts benefit equally the firm and the worker.
