Vertrauensarbeitszeit

Vertrauensarbeitszeit, or trust-based working hours, is a work arrangement where employees are given flexibility to determine their own working hours within agreed-upon boundaries, without strict clock-in and clock-out times. The employer trusts employees to complete their tasks responsibly and meet deadlines instead of closely monitoring their hours. This system emphasizes employee autonomy, flexible scheduling, and results-oriented work, fostering a better work-life balance. It relies on mutual trust between employer and employee, with the understanding that employees will fulfill their responsibilities without micromanagement.
