Following the Supreme Court decision in Augustine v Data Cars Ltd, this FAQ has been updated to remove a reference to McMenemy v Capita Business Services Ltd.

We look at how shift and night working operates in the police sector and some of the initiatives aimed at reducing the potential negative impact of such working patterns.
