BARTIME will conduct analyses for 24 EU countries. Three EU member states are not included because collective agreements are hard to find (Ireland, Malta), or are accessible for members only (Germany).

Goal of the project:

BARTIME’s overall objective is met through three research objectives that aim to fill the knowledge gaps regarding the understanding of the monetary rewards of non-standard working times.

BARTIME aims to contribute to the social dialogue in Europe by deepening the understanding of monetary rewards of non-standard working time arrangements and the related agreements in collective bargaining.

The three research objectives are:

• to provide a comprehensive overview of standard and non-standard working time arrangements agreed in collective bargaining agreements and the associated monetary rewards of these arrangements, specified by industry and country, for 24 EU countries.
• to determine how common standard and non-standard working time arrangements and associated wage premiums are in the dependent labour force in Europe, taking account of differences by gender, age, occupation, income quantiles, industry and country.
• measure the proportion of workers’ annual wage income that can be attributed to non-standard work hours in both bargained and non-bargained working time dimensions.
