Podcast: Travelling time for mobile workers counts as working time
On this week's XpertHR weekly, we consider the recent Tyco decision, in which it was found that travelling time for mobile workers counts as working time under the Working Time Regulations 1998. We look at the practical consequences for employers, including how the decision will impact on the calculation of working time and rest breaks and whether or not it has an impact on the national minimum wage.
Presenter Susan Dennehy is joined by XpertHR's Laura Merrylees. Edited and produced by Clare Allerton.
