Chapter 9

Unmeasured time

[ch 9: page 167]

The limits on working time in the WTR do not apply to the duration of work which “is not measured or predetermined or can be determined by the worker himself”. This exemption is designed to cover managing executives and others with autonomous decision-taking powers, as well as family workers and workers officiating at religious ceremonies.
