You have to sign an exemption form, though most employers don't even bother with them as it isn't regulated, especially for people on salaried pay rather than hourly rates.
Yes it is different here. Most of the remaining workers rights in the UK come from the EU as they have been removed by our own governments.
When the working time directive came in, which is what you are referring to, the UK negotiated an exemption so that people could 'work the hours they want' which of course translates into be forced to work more than 48 hours.
18 hour days? Lol

Probably includes a Wasps corporate treat for their loyal servitude.
CT said:Coventry City Council’s chief executive Martin Reeves was treated to Rugby World Cup tickets by Jaguar Land Rover just two days before the council approved a planning application from the firm.
The sequence of events has been described as a ‘technical breach’ of the council’s code of conduct which expressly forbids employees from accepting hospitality from anyone “seeking any form of consent” from the local authority.
Questions about the judgment of accepting the £150 tickets to the Wales v Australia game at Twickenham on October 10 were raised during a council ethics committee hearing on Thursday.
The luxury car manufacturer was granted permission to expand car parking facilities at its Whitley headquarters two days after the game.
It’s not a formal appointment, there’s never been a formal appointment. It’s completely normal procedure to have a go to person while I’m away. I have always said I would be spending more time in Birmingham working on the combined authority.
Coun leader Ann Lucas previously told the Telegraph she would not have allowed Mr Reeves to do both jobs if she believed he could not dedicate appropriate time to Coventry.
Of course he is going to be able to do both roles. Do you think I would have allowed him to be considered if I thought he couldn’t?
I have always said I would be spending more time in Birmingham working on the combined authority.
I would think Yardley will be getting paid for the additional responsibility....Why do they talk like everyone is an idiot.
There was thing with the freebies from JLR that they claimed was a technical breach. There's no such thing its a breach or it isn't.
Now they're saying that the days he isn't doing his job for CCC the person with is acting chief exec is not a formal appointment but normal procedure.
I would think Yardley will be getting paid for the additional responsibility....

Coventry City Council have confirmed neither Mr Reeves or Mr Yardley will receive any extra pay for their additional responsibilities.

I'm not sure how they actually get away with it?!! After the sheep believed them about the London franchise, they probably assume they can get away with anything.
If Reeves doesn't need to be in Coventry full time to carry out his council role then his salary should be cut accordingly on a permanent basis.
Similarly if Yardley has the capacity to do Reeves job as well as his own it would appear he does not need to work full time
I would think Yardley will be getting paid for the additional responsibility....
