Helping you comply with
   Working Time Directives

Taken from DTI sources, the basic rights and protections that
the UK Regulations provide are:

• a limit of an average of 48 hours a week that a worker can be required to work (though workers can choose to work more if they want to)
  
  This limit is set in the staff record field "Maximum Hrs/Week" and can be amended where staff choose to work more than 48 hours
  
  
• a limit of an average of 8 hours work in 24 that night workers can be required to work
  
  This limit is set for all workers in the staff record field "Hours per rota period"
  
  
• a right for night workers to receive free health assessments
  
  Display or print a report showing all your night workers who may be eligible for health assessment
  
  
• a right to 11 hours rest a day
  
  This right is set for all workers in the master settings for your organisation in the field "Min hours between shifts"
  
  
• a right to a day off each week
  
  This right is controlled by the "Consecutive Working Days" in the staff record, where minimum and maximum days on and off can be changed
  
  
• a right to an in-work rest break if the working day is longer than six hours
  
  This right is controlled by the number of working hours set in the shift details. Although the shift length may be 9 hours long, the working hours are adjusted to allow for break times.
  
  
• a right to four weeks paid leave per year
  
  Keep track of holidays booked and taken with the staff calendar. Produce a 'Holiday' report at any time - all your historical data is available for analysis.
