EAT WORKING TIME REGULATIONS
Working Time Regulations. Rest breaks. Security guard (special case under regulation 21(b)). Whether receiving ‘an equivalent period of compensatory rest’ (regulation 24(a)). Whether not possible for objective reasons to grant such compensatory rest (regulation 24(b). Whether, if so, employer granting him appropriate protection.
Employment Tribunal found no breach of WTR since employer met the requirements of regulation 24(b). Appeal dismissed. Employer was actually meeting the requirements of regulation 24(a) but even if the EAT was wrong about that, the Tribunal’s judgment that regulation 24(b) was met, was unimpeachable.
