EAT National Minimum Wage – The appeals consider the proper approach to the question whether employees who sleep-in in order to carry out duties if required engage in ‘time work’ for the full duration of the night shift or whether they are only entitled to the national minimum wage when they are awake and carrying out relevant duties.
A multifactorial evaluation is required. No single factor is determinative and the relevance and weight of particular factors will vary with and depend on the context and circumstances of the particular case.
