This thread was split from another. I did not post title.
I'm an employee of a business in which I own a share. We limit the overtime worked by our employees so that they do not breach the directive. They are not happy about it but what can we do? It limits their earnings for no good reason and adds cost to the business. We have never forced anyone to do any overtime but now we do force them not to work it. Like I said, stupid law.Aren't you self employed? Does the directive apply to those who own their own businesses? I didn't think so. Or do you mean that your employees were forced to work beyond the statutory maximum hours?
