As casualisation strategies have proliferated in the wake of the global crisis, techniques to exclude discrete time periods from the working day are increasingly being devised. Vulnerable periods are targeted and configured as regulatory no-man’s lands that encircle disjointed episodes of protected work. Travel time is one such disputed site. These periods are especially fraught at the lower end of the labour market, perhaps most prominently in the signs of unacceptably widespread non-payment of travel time in the home care sector.1 Such temporal fragmentation strategies are beginning to be tested before the courts.2 In the recent Tyco judgment, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) for the first time addressed the status of travel time under the Working Time Directive (WTD).3 In doing so, the Court reasserted a unitary model of working time and stressed that this model can embrace travel periods. It also identified remuneration as the plane on which temporal fragmentation of jobs can be reconciled with the EU legal order. The judgment in Tyco therefore offers an opportunity to reflect on the evolving role of legal regulation in structuring the temporal dimension of casualisation.

作为工作时间的旅行时间：泰科、单一模型和休闲化之路

随着全球危机之后临时化策略的激增，越来越多的人设计出从工作日中排除离散时间段的技术。脆弱时期被定位并配置为监管的无人区，围绕着受保护工作的脱节事件。旅行时间就是这样一个有争议的地方。这些时期在劳动力市场的低端尤其令人担忧，也许最突出的迹象是家庭护理部门普遍存在的不支付旅行时间的迹象。1 这种时间分割策略开始在法庭上进行测试。 2在最近的 Tyco 判决中，欧盟法院 (CJEU) 首次解决了工作时间指令 (WTD) 下的旅行时间状况。3 在这样做时，法院重申了统一的工作时间模型，并强调该模型可以包含旅行时间。它还将薪酬确定为可以使工作的时间分散与欧盟法律秩序相协调的平面。因此，Tyco 案的判决提供了一个机会，可以反思法律法规在构建临时化的时间维度中不断演变的作用。
