If I did that it would be 90 hours total out of 168 for a whole week. That means I would be at work for 53% of the whole week including sleep. I admire you for having the stamina but would never do it myself.

Quite right opt out,but that does not allow you to work 50 hrs o/t legally.

I believe the hours would be averaged over a set period of time therefore it's not illegal anyway I only do it over the Christmas period.

Everyone needs to get used to working more than 40 hrs because of the deal :sad:
