cassity Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 My paid day starts when I switch on the ignition and finishes when I pull the key out, regardless of distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantom309 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 carer,s can have 7 or 8 calls per shift and can be travelling between calls for as long as they are in the persons home dealing with their needs so a 0700 start to a 1500 finish can be paid as little as three and half hours and this is near to NMW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 There are all sort of complicated tax implications that I wont go into. Most people have a workplace and travel to and from is not counted as work. Those that don't have a set workplace sometimes end up being sent on jobs right left and centre across a city and end up miles away from home. In going home some can claim the time but not the travel costs, others claim the travel but not the time, some claim both, some neither. Time it was standardised. A lot depends on whether there is a designated workplace, or whether home is the designated place of work as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how it helps salaried employees but yes maybe their employers will now have to pay overtime . do you support this action in helping the working man/woman ?

WiseOwl182 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 What about a salaried employee who has a designated office but has to travel to other offices further away, sometimes during their own time (ie. Enforced longer commute), does this help them? What about the increasing number of jobs advertised as location "flexible" and an expectation of travel and staying away from family for several nights a week? Does that count as working time?

LeMaquis Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 First thing: Let's make it clear this is the EUHRC, not the EU. It most definitely is the EU. The decision was taken by the ECJ to uphold the EU's working time directive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
