Table 2 Annual working time calculating for nurses
Row | Factor | Calculations |
|---|---|---|
1 | Number of days in a year | 365 days |
2 | Number of Fridays per year | 52 days |
3 | The number of public holidays per year | 24 days |
4 | The average vacation used in a year | 18 days |
5 | The average of sick leave used in a year | 3 days |
6 | The average of maternity leave used in a year | 10 days |
7 | The average of non-employment days for incentive leave, mission, etc. in a year | 1 day |
8 | The average of working days available in a year | 365 − (52 + 24 + 18 + 3 + 10 + 1) = 257 days |
The average of working hours available annually without decreasing hours due to the Productivity Improvement Act | 257 × 7.33 = 1 884 h | |
9 | A deduction of 4 h per week according to Section 2 of the Productivity Improvement Act (4 × 52 = 208) | 1 887 – 208 = 1 676 h |
Adjustment of the working hours available under the third section of the Productivity Improvement Act (1.5 times calculated of the nights and official holidays) | 0.77 Adjustment factor | |
10 | Considering 40 h of compulsory extra working hours per month (40 × 12 = 480) | 1 676 + 480 = 2 156 h |
The average of working hours available annually considering the adjustment factor | 2 156 × 0.77 = 1 660 h | |
Hours of nurses’ annual presence at the hospital by applying extra working hours with a deduction of 15% of the working time for allowed unemployment (allowance), rest and personal affairs, fatigue, and delays during work | 1 660× 85% = 1 411 h | |
The average of annual available working days | 1 411 ÷ 8.5 = 166 days | |
