What CAO topics are most important when hiring flex workers for logistics?¶
Key topics include: rest period requirements after long physical or driving shifts, driving time regulations if workers operate vehicles (which may fall under separate EU transport rules in addition to the CAO), shift allowances for nights and weekends, overtime rules, and certification requirements such as forklift operator licences. When posting a logistics vacancy, include relevant certifications in your Matching Criteria using "Must have" importance level so that only qualified candidates are surfaced. Ensure your planned shift pattern accounts for mandatory rest after extended driving or physical exertion, as timesheet records will reflect actual hours worked and any discrepancy from planned hours creates a variance flag.
