La aplicación general de la nueva obligación empresarial de control diario del tiempo de trabajo presenta dificultades para su implantación en ciertos sectores. En particular, en lo que se refiere al trabajo a bordo de buques pesqueros, un sector olvidado por el legislador que, no obstante, también tiene derecho a la limitación de su jornada para garantizar la prestación en condiciones de seguridad y salud.
The employers’ general requirement to set up a system enabling the duration of time worked daily by each worker to be measured, represent a significant challenge in certain sectors. There are a major issue concerning monitoring working time on fishing vessels. Notwithstanding, the fishermen are also entitled to a limitation of its working time to guarantee safe and healthy working conditions. The truth is this professional group has been generally neglected by Law which has led to complex legal problems.
