Right to work overtime
UK ENSURES RIGHT TO WORK OVERTIME CAN CONTINUE
The right for UK workers to choose to work longer than 48 hours a week has today been secured, after ministers reached a new agreement in Europe.
The landmark agreement on both the Working Time Directive and the Agency Workers Directive at the EU Employment Council allows the UK’s vital labour market flexibility to continue, while ensuring workers are treated fairly.
“The agreement on agency working will give a fair deal for agency workers and prevent unfair undercutting of permanent staff while retaining important flexibility for businesses to hire staff for short-term seasonal contracts or key busy times.”
The deal on agency workers comes after the CBI and TUC signed a joint declaration last month agreeing to a 12-week qualifying period for agency workers to be given equal treatment in a given job.
