[QUOTE="heimdallr, post: 1414503, member: 381151"] Not lawful, you cannot opt out of the WTD. You can only opt out of the maximum 48 hour week, other than that it all applies, even if you agree to this opt out. Your and every employer is duty bound to ensure you don't work beyond this. There are only exceptions for certain industries - oil platforms due to working away and gas, water (which I work for) and these only apply in emergency situations with required rest time to compensate. No opt out for a company for 'operational requirements' My partner works in the NHS and they wanted her to do a late then early shift which she didn't want to do as she had a 45 minute drive to work as well. She asked to do to lates and her boss refused I pointed out to her that this doesn't comply with the WTD for 11 rest between shifts, she pointed this out to her boss and they were forced to change her shift. The law is there to protect you, use it. [/QUOTE]
