By Press Association 2021 A woman in a PPE gown and purple gloves holds the hands of another women in a blue outfit Union and charity leaders have joined forces to urge the Government to reform minimum wage laws affecting thousands of care workers. Unison and Mencap have written jointly to the Prime Minister saying action is needed “urgently” to amend current rules, so sleep-in shifts, where staff have to stay away from home overnight, are defined as working time. The move follows a court decision last month that hours employees are asleep do not have to be paid at minimum wage rates, only the time they are awake and looking after people.

Trade unionists and charity campaigners demand immediate reforms to minimum wage laws for care workers

BORIS JOHNSON must introduce immediate reforms to minimum wage laws affecting thousands of care workers, trade unionists and charity campaigners have demanded.  In today’s open letter to the PM, Unison and learning disability charity Mencap say “action is needed urgently” to amend current rules so that sleep-in shifts, where staff have to stay overnight away from home, are defined as working time and paid properly.  Last month, the Supreme Court ruled that the hours employees are asleep do not have to be paid at minimum wage rates, with only the time they are awake and looking after people to be included.
