NES: Maximum Weekly Hours
Looking for some clarification on below questions:
- NES 'Maximum Weekly Hours' - relates to ordinary hours for a full time employee - where it is a maximum of generally 38. This means anything above this is overtime?
- Does this mean employers are obliged to provide a guarantee of 38 hours for a FTE?
- If yes - what about in cases where a FTE cannot be usefully employed i.e. in transport where fatigue regulations allow only a certain ammount of driving hours per fortnight, and it is reached in the first week, allowing only less then 38 hours being able to be worked the next week
- Please consider the above based on a NES based contract, with no EA in place with stipulations assisting with the above and clarity
