The Supreme Court ruling establishes that workers have the right to consider as effective working time those 15 minutes after the start of the working day, as long as there is a rigid control of the working hours and it is previously agreed with the company. This decision is fundamental for thousands of workers who must respect a strictly established schedule.
On the other hand, the Supreme Court has also recognized that the time spent on breakfast can be considered as effective working time if it has been agreed with the company. This implies that workers have the right to be paid for the time they spend eating their breakfast, as long as this has been previously agreed.
This ruling sets an important precedent in the regulation of working hours and workers' rights. Its implementation could mean significant changes in business practices, since it implies recognizing as effective working time those activities that were not previously considered as such.
In short, the Supreme Court's decision is a step forward in protecting workers' rights, ensuring that the time spent arriving at work and eating breakfast is considered effective working time if agreed with the company. This could have important repercussions on the regulation of working hours and business practices in general.
