I believe but may be corrected but the 70 hours maximum is a 13 week average so you week off should reduce it, are you being pressurised to do extra hours?

48 hours is max unless you sign an opt-out form.

70 hours is RM's rule.

Is this averaged or a weekly limit?
There's a different figure from the way forward agreement which is a net average (excluding meal reliefs) but some offices seem to be using the 70 hour gross hour PSP alert as a binding limit.

Would really like some clarification on this as there is a lot of confusion and further confusion regarding EU laws heh

What is the issue are you being stopped from doing more overtime or being pressured to work more?
