How the norm is worked out

Part-time norms

• 1/2 of full time: 84 h
• 3/4 of full time: 126 h
• 1/4 of full time: 42 h

Legal basis: art. 130 of the Polish Labour Code and the Act of 18 January 1951 on public holidays (Christmas Eve off since 2025). More: working days versus the working time norm.
