Conned on the Working Time Directive?
How?
As an employee, you can opt-out of the WTD - the Directive gives the employee the choice, rather than the employer forcing it on someone.
Also, I think it's pretty reasonable not to ask someone to work over 48 hours a week for over 17 weeks - ever heard of work/life balance?
If the following things are being conned, bring it on...
Quote:
a limit to weekly working hours, which must not exceed 48 hours on average, including any overtime
a minimum daily rest period of 11 consecutive hours in every 24
a rest break during working hours if the worker is on duty for longer than 6 hours
a minimum weekly rest period of 24 uninterrupted hours for each 7-day period, in addition to the 11 hours' daily rest
paid annual leave of at least 4 weeks per year
extra protection for night work, e.g. average working hours must not exceed 8 hours per 24-hour period
