A Quick Online Summation Of » Employment Law Regulations
employment law help please?
can anyone help me understand the working time regulations in the uk and specifically what is meant by accumulated rest period. and how does it work. i am an employee but not a driver.
The main points of the working time directive are...
You work no more than 48 hours per week.
You have your daily rest period which means that you are entitled to have a minimum rest period between shifts of 11 hours, so if you finish work at 9pm one evening, you cannot start before 8am the following day.
Then there is your weekend rest period when you are entitled to have at least 24 hours uninterrupted rest every week or 48 hours uninterrupted rest every fortnight.
There are exceptions to these rules and you can opt out of it, but these are the main headings.

“My 2 cents is that it is important for this country to push Wall Street back to the business of creating capital for business. Whether its through a use of taxes on trades, or changing the capital gains tax structure so that there is no capital gains tax on any shares of stock (private or public company) held for 5 years or more, and no tax on dividends paid to shareholders who have held stock in the company for more than 5 years. However we need to do it, we need to get the smart money on Wall Street back to thinking about ways to use their capital to help start and grow companies. That is what will create jobs. That is where we will find the next big thing that will accelerate the world economy. It won’t come from traders trying to hack the financial system for a few pennies per trade. And solutions won’t come from bureaucrats trying to prevent the traders from hacking the system. The only certainty when bureaucrats step in is that the law of unintended consequences will smack us all in the head and the trader/hackers will find new ways to exploit the system that makes them big money and even more money for the big institutions that develop products for the other institutions that are desperate to play the game. Regulators have got to start to recognize that traders are not investors and vice versa and treat them differently. Different regulations. Different tax structure. Different oversight. Individual investors and the funds that just invest in stocks and bonds are not going to crash the market. Big traders who are always leveraging up and maximizing the number of trades/hacks they make will always put the system at risk. We need to recognize that they do not serve much of a purpose other than to add substantial risk to the global economy. That their stated value add of liquidity does not compensate the US and World Economy nearly enough for the risk of collapse they introduce into the system.”
