Article 44
1. Members of temporary staff in active employment shall at all times be at the disposal of Agency. 2. The normal working week shall range from 40 to 42 hours, the hours of the working day to be determined by the AACC. Within the same limits, the AACC may, after consulting the Staff Committee, determine the hours to be worked by certain groups of members of temporary staff engaged on particular duties. 3. A member of temporary staff may, moreover, be required because of the exigencies of the service or safety rules to remain on standby duty at his place of work or at home outside normal working hours. The AACC shall lay down detailed rules for the application of this paragraph after consulting the Staff Committee. 4. The AACC may introduce flexible working-time arrangements. Under those arrangements, entire working days shall not be granted for members of temporary staff in grade AD/AST 9 or higher. Those arrangements shall not be applicable to members of temporary staff to whom the provisions of Article 40(2) apply. Those members of temporary staff shall manage their working time in agreement with their superiors.
