Working arrangements, terms and conditions
Article Abstract:
A survey on part-time employment in the UK indicated most part-time work was for used for morning shifts, overtime opportunities for part-timers were limited, and most part-time staff received prorated employment terms and conditions. Some employers provided part-timers with specific terms, such as discounts and company loans, that were equivalent to full-time staff. Moreover, part-timers' opportunities for promotions and training were equal to full-timers at nearly all employers. Part-time issues generally had not been considered in union negotiations at over 90% of the employers surveyed.

Impact of EU Working Time Directive greatest in the UK
Article Abstract:
The UK will be the member state most affected by implementation of the EU Working Time Directive, which will limit the working week to 48 hours. A research report indicates the Directive's guarantees on annual vacation, rest breaks, and work hours will affect millions of UK workers, although the standards themselves contain some leeway in their applicability. UK businesses may move towards annual hours arrangements and other flexible measures in response to the Directive. The Directive may force UK employers to manage work hours properly rather than use overtime excessively.
