isenção de horário de trabalho (“flexible hours”)
An agreement that the worker is not tied to set start and finish times. Work beyond the normal working day then does not count as overtime unless the contract sets a limit (Código do Trabalho, articles 218 and 226). It must be agreed in writing.
Where you come across it. Contracts for managers and specialists.
Such hours come with an allowance: unless the collective agreement provides for more, it is at least one hour of overtime a day or two hours a week, depending on the type of arrangement (article 265).
