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.
