COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION Interpretative Communication on Directive 2003/88/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning certain aspects of the organisation of working time · European Union

The Court has underlined that the workplace means any place where the worker is required to exercise an activity on the employer’s instruction, including where it is not the place where professional duties are usually carried out. Consequently, the Court has held that the period during which a worker attends vocational training required by the employer, which takes place away from the usual place of work and, in whole or in part, outside normal working hours, constitutes ‘working time’ (165).
