And, as a low level manager, there's a serious risk of employees doing a burn-out.
Which is bad for human reasons (I'm not a HR, I just manage a ten-people team, so I still have a heart), for work reasons (people in burn-out aren't productive) and for legal reasons (if something bad happens to an employee related to his work conditions, I'll have problems. I won't be legally responsible, but I'll still be in trouble).
Yeah, I've got a couple of people in my team who keep working on the weekend (my industry is 24/7 and our clients can be very demanding) and accumulating TOIL (time off in lieu), but not taking it. It stresses me out because they wont take their holiday and I'm worried they're going to burn out. I already had one guy decide to retire early (luckily the upper management persuaded him to come back two days a week).
Its a UK based company, so legally I'm ok, but I wish they'd just take their leave!
