"NFC tags surgically inserted!!!" - sorry that is Big Brother. Anyway, with regards to Debit/ Credit cards - i
get a new card from my bank every three years, and each time there is a different sequence of numbers, so
that would mean a tag would need re-inserted, and Banks being Banks you would be charged for a new tag.
The quicker that retina identification is rolled out, the better i say.

I worked at dealers for decades, when a time clock was put in all the good will went.
We all started cleaning up 5 minutes before clocking off time ready to clock out on time.
Prior to this it was very relaxed & never an issue, there was no problems with bad time keeping.
Basically I'm not a fan, if you don't have trust ( & it works both ways ) you may as well move on elsewhere.

I thought there was a legal requirement to track employees hours, H&S and all that.
Seem to recall that you should not allow them to work over a certain amount of hours for too many weeks. OK if for relatively short periods during harvest. Also employees on salaries the total hours worked must not exceed what a minimum pay rate would equate too.
We used to combine the hour sheets with work sheets to apportion time to crop. The average sheet coming in the office rarely gave us a very good picture though
Also you will find it very difficult sacking any one for poor time keeping if you have no records either.
However I fully agree a good man ( or woman ) does not need such things and should be free to come and go

Working time directive https://www.gov.uk/maximum-weekly-working-hours 48 hours per week averaged over 17 weeks unless you opt out.I thought there was a legal requirement to track employees hours, H&S and all that.

I take it farm staff just opt out?
I think the salary rule is different here, you have to make minimum wage during the pay period, fortnightly or monthly. Some dairy farms have been caught out with staff doing big hours at calving and have to top up any peak hours.
Funny old world. I find it amazing that people would be so against clocking in and out as you arrive/leave work.

We have one in each yard and workshop, each has a washing machine and tumble drier in for work clothes, toilet shower and hand wash facilities

I worked on a farm where there was a clocking in out machine, it worked in 15 minute increments. If you clocked in at 6:46 you started to get paid from 7, if you clocked out at 5:14 you got paid till 5. This led to everyone timing the return to yard to perfection then lingering next to the machine to clock out at the exact moment. So they put a camera over the machine to stop this! The same firm had a tendency to turn up exactly at the end of break, not realising you might of stopped 5 minutes late to get to the end of the field. Trust works both ways!!

The last one I used had 6 minute increments, so 10 an hour, think it made working the pay out easier. *.58 rounded up to the hour. Never clock out at *.03 always wait until .4. Those point ones as we called them add up

Nobody abides by that carp. Typical french socialist BS. Create jobs by limiting how much people can work. Complete waste of ink.

There are a few businesses that now allow their staff to work a 4 day week providing they still meet their targets, and somehow the staff find they can fit what was taking 5 days into 4 days.... shows how much more productive people can be when they are focused. I could easily fill an 8 day week with 4 days work when I am not focused...

It does not limit how much people can work as they can choose to opt out - it is intended to limit employers ability to "force" folk to work excessive hours. An employer that forces an employee to opt out or penalises them for doing refusing to opt out can be hit with significant fines. It may be common for the agricultural industries to ignore such rules, but plenty of employers in other industries do take it seriously.

no they can't, and even if they only drive 1 day a week, they still have to comply to WTD for the rest of the week
