He can demand all he likes - the point is with salaried employees is its "no fixed hours of work " and its up to you to decide how to compete your assigned tasks.

I recall one of my coworkers at BT commenting well that he was taking Friday off to play Golf as he was using up his TOIL.

That's not true at all. An employer can demand that a salaried worker be in the office during particular hours. It just means that if those hours are > 40 per week, the worker doesn't get overtime.

Employers can "demand" a lot whether its justicable is another matter.

And a manager requiring attendance at say a 9 o'clock meeting is not the same as require you to be in the office 9-5 5 days a week
