2.11  OTHER EMPLOYMENT
               It is a condition of your employment that whilst employed by the Company, you do not enter into
               employment with another company or undertake work on a freelance basis without the prior written
               permission of the Company. Your total aggregate hours of all employment cannot exceed the legal
               limitations set out in Organisation of Working Time Act 1997.

               2.12   HOURS OF WORK AND SHIFT REQUIREMENTS
               Your hours of work are set-out in the terms of employment contract. Any permanent changes to your
               working hours or the conditions of your employment will be noted in your employee file.  O’Kelly
               Sutton will provide you with a time sheet for reporting your hours. Only you are authorised to record
               your own working time.
               2.12.1  Breaks
               In accordance with working time legislation the Company is committed to the welfare of its employees
               regarding the amount of time they spend at work. All employees whether full-time, part-time or flexi-
               hours are covered by the Organisation of Working Time Act 1997. The Company acknowledge that
               exceptional seasonal demands place additional onus on staff to meet customer needs. The cumulative
               hours worked by any individual will be closely monitored and a necessary compensatory rest period
               required will be arranged in due course.

               Daily Break Period   All employees must take a break of at least 15 minutes if working more than four
                                     and a half hours or a break of at least 30 minutes if working more than six
                                     hours (this may be inclusive of the initial 15 minutes break).

               Daily Rest Period     Employees affected by this legislation must take a rest period of 11 hours
                                     consecutively in each 24-hour period.

               Weekly Rest Periods   All employees must take a rest period of at least 24 consecutive hours in
                                     each period of seven days.
