Working Time Directive
You are no doubt aware of the implementation of the Working Time Directive.
This prescribes a number of benefits for employees relating to holidays, redundancies, etc. As you would expect, 24-7 Employment Solutions Limited terms of employment exceeds these requirements.
The Working Time Directive also limited the number of hours that employees can be required to work during a given reference period.
Due to the seasonal nature of our business the number of hours worked by some of our employees have, in the past, exceeded this limit and you are invited to sign a dis-claimer form, copy of which is below. I would emphasise that you are not required to sign this form and that failure to do so will not jeopardise your employment with the Company. The dis-claimer may be cancelled any time by giving three months’ notice in writing.
It is the company’s responsibility to ensure that employees who have not signed the form do not work more than the stipulated hours per week and they would therefore be required to complete time sheets or use a time logging machine to record all hours worked.
Reference Working Time Directive
I hereby agree that I will, if required, work longer than an average of forty-eight hours per seven day period in any applicable reference period. I may withdraw this agreement by giving at least three month’s notice in writing to 24-7 Employment Solutions Limited. I understand that this agreement is intended to satisfy the requirements of Regulations 5 (1)-(3) of The Working Time Regulations 1998.
