On-call hours worked by employees of Covert Authorities Bureau (CAB) at Humberside Police Force were working hours and should be paid in full, a tribunal has ruled. 

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) received 45 reports relating to alleged breaches of the Working Time Directive in 2022 to 2023, up 165% from 17 reports in 2021 to 2022.

The backlog of employment tribunal cases, worsened by the pandemic, is showing little sign of easing according to employment lawyers.
