To allow for individual flexibility, notice periods to amend the agreement should be negotiated between the employee and their manager at the time the agreement is made.

If the employee is identified to be working more than 48 hours per week and they have not agreed to opt out of the 48 hour weekly working time limit, then the Line Manager must discuss this with the employee and decide the best way forward, e.g. reducing hours with each employer. An employer may find a number of ways in which to meet this duty, for example, it may be sufficient for an employer with employees who keep regular hours (e.g. 9.00 am to 5.00 pm) for the employee to notify the employer that they are working in excess of the standard working hours. Then the employer could monitor the hours worked by the worker more closely, or adjust the work that a worker is being asked to do, to ensure compliance.These records must be kept for a period of 2 years from the date on which they were made. Although records, in accordance with the Working Time Regulations, do not require to be kept for those staff who opt out of a 48 hour week, NHS Fife does considers that it is good practice to keep records for all staff regardless of whether or not they may have signed an opt out agreement. Each employer / line manager within NHS Fife in the case of multiple employments with the Board, would be responsible for ensuring that they provide adequate rest breaks according to the hours worked which the employee works for them. Example 1: You might wish to cook a meal which needs to be in the oven for 6.30 hours. Let's say right now it is 11:20 and you want to find out when to set the oven timer to. You need to enter "11:20" in the "Time" box and then using the "add time" function you will enter "6" in the "hours" box and "30" in the "minutes" box. By hitting the "calculate" button you will be shown the result in the bottom, which in this case is 17:50, or 5:50 pm.

It is not necessary for the employee to give their Line Manager details of their other employer or self employment and the type of work, which they are performing. However, in some cases there may be a conflict of interest. If this is the case, the onus is on the employee to discuss this with their Line Manager.

By law (The Working Time Regulations 1998), employees and workers have the right to the following rest: Working time for the purposes of the Regulations, and the provision of the relevant rest periods and breaks is defined as “Any period during which the worker is: (i) working; (ii) carrying out his duties; and (iii) at the employer’s disposal.” Employers must meet all three criteria. Highly Indianized - Definitely not for non-Indian readers. In fact 90% of the book sounds like a cheap Tamil movie which someone is trying to promote by including some hi-tech stuff. But frankly not flattering to the least bit.

For the purposes of this agreement, within NHS Fife the responsibility for identifying any special hazards faced by night workers rests with the Line Manager. Terrible plot and conclusion - Okay so I was hoping the end would save the reputation of the book but clearly not. The end tasted like food without salt. The plot is highly silly and the conclusion was the icing on the cake. Line Managers are responsible for ensuring that compensatory rest is provided, within a reasonable time from when the entitlement to rest was applicable. This is usually within two weeks from when the entitlement to rest was applicable. On 1 October 1998, measures were introduced called “The Working Time Regulations”. The Regulations implement the EC Directive on the Organisation of Working Time (the Working Time Directive) [as amended].In circumstances where work is repetitive, continuous or requiring exceptional concentration managers must ensure the provision of adequate rest breaks as an integral part of their duty to protect the health and safety of employees. In such circumstances the advice of the Occupational Health and Safety Advisory Service should be sought. You’ll probably be entitled to rest breaks during your working day, as well as daily and weekly rest breaks. Most workers are entitled to rest breaks but some jobs mean you don’t have an automatic legal right to breaks.

The Working Time Regulations provide rights for employees ensuring that they do not have to work excessive hours.Typically, the body cycles between non-REM and REM sleep over a period of 90 minutes on average, and should occur 4-6 times in a good night's sleep. Non-REM sleep begins, eventually moving into slow-wave sleep, or deep sleep. During this period, body temperature and heart rate fall, and the brain uses far less energy, while restoring its supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a molecule used for the storage and transport of energy. During slow-wave sleep, growth hormone is also secreted, which is particularly important for human development. The hourly rate calculator will help you see what that wage works out to be.
