[QUOTE="Chook, post: 1398457, member: 24561"] I have been in the same position as the OP and what they do is give you a form to sign to say you agree to opt out of the Working Time Directive should the employers operational needs require it due to the nature of the business. When I finished my induction with my former employer we were all given these forms to sign without any explanation. I was the only one who chose not to sign it. Obviously it didn't get passed along that I hadn't signed because then I was emailed my first rota and found I was on 12.5 hour nights doing six of them in the first week. I complained and was told it was necessary because of 'operational requirements' and that I would be given equivalent time off in the future. Charities seem to think they are above the law. What they can't do is make it part of your contract that you must work overtime. [/QUOTE]
