EU court ruling may make some travel time count as work
The European Court of Justice said journeys to changing job sites can count as working time when workers are under their employer’s direction. The ruling could affect pay, but the court did not decide what workers must be paid.
The European Court of Justice ruled that some trips to job sites count as working time under EU rules.
The case involved workers at a Spanish landscaping company who met at a fixed base and travelled together to changing work locations; their outbound trip was paid, but the return trip was not.
EU law recognises working time and rest time, but no separate category for travel time.
The key test is whether workers are under their employer’s direction and cannot use the time freely during the journey; whether they drive or ride along generally does not matter.

Research suggests muscle and liver cells retain a memory of exercise after training stops. This may help people regain fitness faster when they return to exercise.
