在仍有很多用人单位实行每周六天工作制的工时制度。按照现行的《劳动法》、《劳动合同法》等劳动行政法律法规，用人单位制定的六天工作制如果每周超过40个小时，用人单位对劳动者可能要承担经济赔偿的责任，还可能面临着主管机关的行政处罚。因此用人单位如何设计工时制度尤为重要。

    
一、根据经营范围、发展规划合理设计工时制度

    
1、用人单位应当根据自身的经营特点和中期发展计划合理的设计工时制度。对于特种行业以外的大部分企业最好实行标准工时制度，即每日工作8小时，每周工作40小时。在工作日、休息日和节假日不安排加班，尤其是节假日除非必要不安排加班，否则用人单位的用工成本将因此大大提高。

    
2、对于确实无法实行标准工时制度的特殊行业的企业，可考虑实行综合计算工时制或不定时工作制，即劳动者的工作时间分别以月、季、年为周期，综合计算工作时间。如公共基础行业、受季节或自然条件限制的行业，部分员工适于实行综合计算工时制或不定时工作制，但需要劳动行政部门批准。同时，用人单位应注意对于特殊工时制的员工，仍要保证这样员工的正常休息休假。而且，这些企业应只对部分员工实行特殊工时制，对于其他员工，仍应实行标准工时制度。

    
二、必须实行每周六天工作制的企业如何减少或者避免法律风险。

    
1、一些企业根据自身的特点不适于实行综合计算工时制或不定时工时制，但仍考虑企业的一些特殊情况，坚持实行每周六天工作制的工时制度。这些企业可以考虑实行每周五天半，每周40小时的工时制度，如果这样能够满足企业对六天工作制的需要，企业面临的法律风险会较小。

    
2、用人单位如果无法实行每周五天半、40个小时的工时制度，也可以考虑制定调休补休制度，对于超40小时的工作时间，员工可以要求补休。

    
3、根据法律规定，用人单位安排劳动者延长工作时间的，应当支付加班费。因此，用人单位应合理设定劳动者的工作岗位、职责、目标任务、考核办法等。这样在某些情况下，劳动者的加班可能并非是用人单位安排的加班，而是劳动者为完成工作任务而自愿加班。这同样可以使用人单位减少法律风险。

    
4、但是，用人单位在上述情况下应注意不要安排劳动者在法定节假日延长工作时间。

    
三、用人单位制定与工时相关的制度时要注意程序

    
用人单位在制定综合计算工时制度、每周五天半、40小时工时制度、调休补休等制度时，应注意制定的程序。用人单位应充分听取工会或职工的意见，最好取得工会和劳动者的同意，并将工时制度的内容写入集体合同或者劳动合同中。                  

    
The employer to design the work hours system

    
Liujun April 9, 2008

    
The employees of many companies must work six days in each week and these companies may  *** ume the responsibility of compensating the employees and administrative punishment. So it is especially important for the employer to design properly the work hours system.

    
Proper work hours system should be designed according to operation scope and development plan of the employer.

    
For most employers, it is proper to carry out the standard work hours system and the employees work 8 hours each day and 40 hours each week.

    
For a few of employers for which it is impossible to carry out the standard work hours, they may take the general work hours or the untime work hours into consideration, by which the work hours is calculated monthly, quarterly or annually. But the system must be approved by the competent authority and the empolyer can not infringe the workers’ right to take a reasonable rest or holiday.

    
How to avoid legal risks for the employer carring out six days weekly work system.

    
Some employers still carry out six days weekly work system for all employees and they will face a great deal of legal risks. So the employers may carry out the system by which the employee work five and half days and 40 hours weekly. It can lower the said legal risks.

    
In addtion, the empoyer may establish the rotatable or adjustive rest system.

    
According to laws and regulations, the employer should pay the overtime wage if it arrange the employees overtime work. So the employer had better design reasonably work position, duty,  *** ignment ,examination ways and so on for each worker. Thus, the employer need not pay overtime wage when the worker voluntarily work overtime.

    
The employer must pay more attention to procedure when it establish the system relevant to work hours and bring the labor union and employees into play.
