There is a lower limit, I'm fairly sure, and I've heard of employees being sent home when heating systems have broken down in winter. But is there an upper limit? Should employees be entitled to be sent home if the office becomes too warm?

Also, who decides these limits?
prev Parking vehicles on housing estate
  
next Will I have to pay spousal support?
