Spanish term

bolsa horaria

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law: Contract(s)
This is in a collective agreement between unions and employers in the section dealing with flexible working time.

b. Bolsa horaria:
La empresa dispondrá de una bolsa horaria de 80 horas/año, todo ello respetando la jornada
de trabajo anual. Hasta el límite de dichas horas la empresa está facultada para realizar una
variación de los días en que está distribuida la jornada ordinaria del trabajador establecida en
el calendario laboral o modificar el número de jornadas laborables del trabajador.

Is there a special term for this in English?

Edward Yes, I think you're probably right. But in that case, I don't think "hour bank" really covers it.
Edward Tully Mar 19, 2014:
I think the 80 hours refers to the maximum number of hours that the company can "take" from employees per year by increasing the working day etc. due to production peaks, rush jobs etc. without having to negotiate a special over-time rate.
philgoddard Mar 19, 2014:
But it's the company, not the employee, and your suggestion doesn't seem to fit with the next sentence.
I think any translation should explain the full meaning rather than just finding an equivalent for "bolsa", and I don't understand the meaning.
AllegroTrans Mar 19, 2014:
I am guessing that it means you can "bank" up to 80 hours a year
philgoddard Mar 18, 2014:
Why is it only 80 hours a year?

hour bank

It is to do with flexitime, but this is where employees' "balance" of hours is recorded.

flexible hours

You could also use "a pool of flexible working hours".

You could also use "on-call hours" but, in that case, you would need to make sure it fits with the rest of the text.

Note from asker:
thanks Guillermo but I have already had flexibilidad horario in the previous paragraph so I am looking for another term. J
