I had my first experience of the Working time directive, this week.
One of the night shift called in sick whilst I was working days (8-8)
No-one could cover, and as it was now 1600, I offered to go home and return to cover the shift on o/t.
My manager told me that the only way I could do the shift was by sending an e-mail, offering to do the shift, as I couldn't be asked to do it. Interesting....!
How will this work for calling out staff for o/t, on the day?
