Working hours

In the UK there are a number of rights workers are entitled to under the law around hours of work. 

Most workers over the age of 18 have the right to:

  • A break when working 6 hours or longer
  • An 11 hour rest period every working day
  • A 24 hour rest period every 7 days
  • A maximum of an average 48 hour working week
  • A maximum of an average 8 hours’ night work every 24 hours
  • Free health assessment for all night shift workers
  • 5.6 weeks’ paid holiday a year which may include bank holidays

Specific rules apply to workers under the age of 18. If you are under 18, you may want to contact us for further information.
