MANY HAULIERS need to renew working hours agreements with their employees, claims the Road Haulage Association (RHA).
Workforce agreements secured at the time the Road Transport (Working lime) Regulations 2005 were brought in, were only valid for five years, so they need to be reconsidered this year.
RHA employment affairs director Ruth Pott says: "Don't delay the renewal of these agreements. They are absolutely essential to the efficient operation of your business, and any members who need help or advice should contact their RHA regional office where staff will be happy to help."
Under the Working Time legislation, workers may not work for more than 48 hours a week on average or 60 hours in a single week .Night workers should not do more than 10 hours in any 24-hour period.
