Abstract

Der Beitrag vergleicht Regelungsstrukturen von Arbeitszeitkonten in Frankreich und Deutschland. Empirische Basis bilden 587 Dienst- und Betriebsvereinbarungen für Deutschland und 894 für Frankreich. Markante Unterschiede zeigen sich. In Deutschland dienen Arbeitszeitkonten vorrangig kurzfristiger Variation der täglichen/wöchentlichen Arbeitszeit. Betrieben sollen sie die Möglichkeit bieten, den Arbeitseinsatz enger mit einer schwankenden Nachfrage zu synchronisieren. Gleichzeitig sollen sie Beschäftigten Spielraum für eine mehr eigenverantwortlich gestaltete Arbeitszeit ermöglichen. In Frankreich sind Arbeitszeitkonten primär langfristiger orientiert und globaler ausgerichtet. Beschäftigte haben die Möglichkeit, größere Zeitguthaben anzusparen, um sie eigenverantwortlich für kurze oder längere Auszeiten zu nutzen. Dementsprechend unterscheiden sich die Regelungsstrukturen. In Frankreich liegt der Schwerpunkt auf den Zeit- und Geldelementen, die angespart werden können, außerdem auf den Verwendungsarten für die Nutzung der Zeitguthaben. In Deutschland geht es vorrangig um Höchstgrenzen für Zeitguthaben und -schulden sowie Ausgleichszeiträume der Kontenstände. Es handelt sich um unterschiedliche Kontentypen, in Frankreich eher um "Spar-" und in Deutschland eher um "Girokonten".
