• It will be a criminal offence to fail to comply with the requirements of the Working Time Directive when it is introduced. It will be policed by the HSE and cases coming to a Crown Court could be liable for an unlimited fine.
That's the warning from solicitor Steven Kirkbright of Ford and Warren, speaking at last week's Working Time Directive conference in Birmingham, sponsored by Manpower and organised by Motor Transport, Commercial Motor, Truck and Truck & Driver.
Under current proposals, he pointed out that employers will be required to record the working time of all mobile employees and keep those records for two years—and tachograph records will not be a good enough measure of "working time".
