[QUOTE="CBUK, post: 385085, member: 10491"] We do a 40 hour week in the U.k same as Ireland. We get overtime after 48 hours, Saturdays are voluantary and optional. We start as a rule at 0740 and finish depending on collection times. We have a few late starters that come in at 0900 and cover the late collections. We have driving laws which mean we have to take a 45 minute break after 4.5 continuous hours of driving. This can be split into 15 and 30 minute breaks but drivers have been known to use this time to park up and sacktruck stops in city areas. This is technically not allowed but then neither are NDA's:wink2: UPS dont pay you for an hour so if you start at 0740 and finish at 1740 you have only done a 9 hour day not 10. Best to take your break and come back a bit later. Otherwise you do an hour for no money. We used to be allowed to get on our vans early and sort the load out but this got banned rightly so in my opinion. This was another way of working for nothing. During peak you have to expect to put in some overtime to get the job done. Often though, individual drivers have different views on what is acceptable overtime. If you read your contract is is a bit ambiguous. [/QUOTE]
