Advice on working time regulations?


Hi i live in the UK and i need some advice on working time regulations for those who work in plant stock nurseries and garden centres. I have an essay to write about working time regulations and the rights it gives to workers. Im doing quite well on the essay but could do with some opinions to see if im on the right track. Has the working time regulations changed the way nurseries are run? Is it a good thing for workers/employers? Does the opt out clause benefit the industry? Only advice on plant nurseries and garden centres thank you. x

Advice on working time regulations?
the working time directive is there to protect the employee. Its in place to stop an employer from making you work more than 48 hours a week, to give you a work-home life balance.


So your employer can not force you to work more than 48 hours, although you may volunteer to work more hours if you want to. Whatever business you work for has to follow these guide lines.
