My husband is a funeral director. He does 24/7 on call for up to two weeks at a time. No matter what time (or how many times) he is called out in the night, he is expected to work his usual 9-5 (or later) hours. Sometimes he can be out twice in the night, get back to bed at 5, up again at 7.30 and not get home until 10pm!
I am sure this is not legal, and it's certainly not safe! His boss (owner of the funeral home) says that they are exempt from the working time directive as they are a small business; I can't find anything to prove this?
Can anyone help?
