MEPs and EU governments failed to agree a draft Directive amending the 48 hour individual opt out and ‘on call’ time rules means the opt out stays in force probably for many years and without fresh restrictions (on how and when it can be signed and on annual renewal). This is good news as it applies to around 120,000 hospitality employees.
Employees can still be asked to “opt out” and be able to work more than 48 hours a week, but they continue to have the right to reject this request or change their mind on no more than three months’ written notice, without suffering any adverse treatment as a result.
