Maximum Number of Hours Per Week

Post by goofyhumor »

Does anyone know what is the maximum number of hours that you can work in a week for Angard? Is it the same as Royal Mail employees, 80 hours? I did email Angard about it, but clearly whoever replied had no idea what they were talking about, stating that it was 48 if you had signed the form that you agreed to working over 48 hours a week, or 40 if you hadn't. I have worked over 48 before and been paid. Just enquiring with Christmas coming up just incase the opportunity arrives to work long hours.

Thanks. I know all of that and I know that you can do a 13 hour shift, paid for 12 hours, but I don't know the maximum number of hours that you can work in a week? Anyone know?

you can work as much as you like but must have 9 hours rest between shifts so it is possible to work 2 shifts back to back but then must have 9 hours rest before starting the next one

I have worked a 10-2 in morning and gone back for a 6-10 in evening, and been paid for both shifts, so who knows.
