An individual employment contract is a contract under which an individual, referred to as an employee, undertakes to perform work for and under the authority of an employer in return for payment, referred to as a salary. It is concluded on an open-ended basis and, by way of exception, can also be concluded for a fixed period under the requirements expressly provided for by law.

Working hours and
wages policy
Working time means any period in which the employee performs work, is at the employer’s disposal and performs job-related tasks and duties under the individual employment contract, the applicable collective agreement and/or the legislation in force.
For full-time employees, the standard working time is 8 hours per day and 40 hours per week. For young people up to 18 years of age, the working time is 6 hours per day and 30 hours per week.
The distribution of working time within the week is, as a rule, uniform, 8 hours a day for 5 days, with two days of rest.
Depending on the specifics of the unit or the work performed, it is also possible to opt for an unequal distribution of working time, respecting the normal duration of working time of 40 hours per week.
The maximum legal working time, including overtime, cannot exceed 48 hours per week.
By way of exception, the duration of working time, which includes overtime, may be extended beyond 48 hours per week, provided that the average working hours, calculated over a reference period of 4 calendar months, do not exceed 48 hours per week.
Work from home regulations
Those employees who perform, at their home, the duties specific to the position they hold are considered employees working at home. Home-based employees set their work schedules to fulfil their duties, and the employer has the right to check the employee’s activity at home under the conditions established by the individual employment contract.
The employee working at home benefits from all the rights recognized by law and by collective labour agreements applicable to employees whose workplace is at the employer’s premises.
Innobyte employees are entitled to work from home or the office, for an unlimited period, by respecting the internal programme and delivering their agreed tasks and activity on time.
