Secondary Employment Declaration

Section 1   Introduction 

The Working Time Directive places limits on the number of hours employees are expected to work, the extent of night work and obligations upon employers regarding monitoring working time compliance.

One such obligation for the GV Group is to make reasonable enquiries concerning whether or not staff who also work for another employer are not exceeding the 48 hour working week limit. To do this the GV Group requires all staff to make a positive declaration of all secondary employment.

In the interests of the health and safety of its staff, service users and the public the GV GROUP expects that where significant secondary employment is disclosed, and particularly if this causes the employee to exceed the 48 hour maximum per week, line managers will counsel staff and evaluate any potential health and safety issues concerning secondary employment
