If the employer culpably violates the part-time employee&#8217;s right to an extension of his working hours and he permanently occupies the workplace with another employee, there is a claim for damages due to the impossibility of performance. According to the ruling of the Ninth Senate of September 16, 2008 (9 AZR 781\/07), the requirement for an \u201cappropriate job\u201d is generally only met if the position to be filled is comparable in terms of content to the job in which the part-time employee works carries out its contractually agreed activity.<\/p>\n<p>Both activities must generally place the same demands on the personal and professional suitability of the employee. The part-time employee is only entitled to an extension of his working hours in exceptional cases if this is associated with a change to a job with a higher level of work. Such an exceptional case is to be affirmed if the employer&#8217;s personnel organization only allows part-time work at a lower hierarchical level than the one previously occupied. This creates a self-binding effect: the boundary between the two hierarchical levels becomes permeable to the part-time employee&#8217;s later wish to extend the contract. In this case, the workplace with the higher-value activity is also considered a \u201ccorresponding workplace\u201d in the sense. \u00a7 9 TzBfG. The Ninth Senate has specified the concept of an urgent operational reason, which can be used against the part-time employee&#8217;s request for a change.<\/p>\n<p>The employer&#8217;s desire, for cost reasons, to fill the vacant position with a candidate in his or her second year of employment who would be paid less under the collective agreement does not constitute a reason for filling the position with a part-time employee who is interested in extending their working hours opposes. It is therefore irrelevant whether a personnel cost budget is exceeded as a result of considering a request for an extension due to the automatic remuneration system in the collective agreement.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row triangle_shape=&#8221;no&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1700480505025{padding-bottom: 50px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]Section 9 TzBfG establishes a legally enforceable right for part-time employees to extend their working hours by changing their contract if no more suitable competitors apply.
