Amendments to the Civil Service Act adopted in 2023 in­troduced significant changes to the regulations governing working time in the civil service. The legislator enhanced the flexibility of adjusting working time to the operational needs of government administration offices by supplement­ing the existing basic and equivalent working time systems with additional schemes, namely the task-based system, the shortened working week, and the weekend working arrangement. A substantial revision was also made to the provisions governing overtime work, in particular with re­gard to the rules of compensation. The amendments allow for compensation either in the form of remuneration or time off, and align the rules on overtime compensation for senior civil service officials with the standards laid down in the Labour Code.
