Chapter 4
Who is protected
[ch 4: page 125]The WTR protect all workers, not just employees (see Chapter 2: Categories of worker). They do not apply to senior managers and others whose working time is not predetermined and who can exercise control over it.
Junior doctors were initially excluded but are now covered, as are transport workers, unless covered by a more specific set of regulations, such as the Road Transport (Working Time) Regulations 2005.
