No, you can choose to work if you want to. But your employer can't make you go to work until 11 hours after your finish time.

Ive left for work at 6am, got home from work at 2am the following morning and was then back up leaving for work at 6am. Got treble time for that days work though and an unlimited supply of redbull :lipsrsealed:
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

I tell my GF something similar, she f**king is meant to work til 9-5 Mon-Fri...She stays til like 1830 every night. It makes me angry, she complains about it but doesn't do anything about it!  :angry:

I keep telling her if she doesn't do something about it then nothing will happen. She says 'Everyone else does the same'. I don't give a f**k, you are you not being paid to work til half 6 each night.  :angry:

Once in a blue moon is probably an acceptable part of your industry. But if it happen often say something, make stuff change.

I lose Sundays travelling for Monday meetings and work 8:30 to 7 most days....which is a bit of a piss take.
What really pisses me off is getting up for the 7:15am to Zurich at 3am then working through to 5pm :angry:
If one of the shop monkeys has to travel they get a day in lieu, wish i was still a monkey sometimes :grin:
Still at least I have  a job which interests me, when I am not tired :grin:

You are also not supposed to work more than 12 hours a shift either...  :angry:

Oops  :laugh:  :lipsrsealed:
As a HGV driver i rarely work less than a 12 hour day and you can work more hours providing you stick to the working time directive.
