Questions workers ask

I work 12-hour days. Is that allowed?

Working-time legality cannot be decided from “12 hours” alone: schedules, averaging, rest, overtime and the applicable contract matter. The useful first step is to reconstruct your actual hours rather than relying on memory or a recruiter’s description.

What to do next

Keep a daily record of start/end times and breaks.
Compare it with the working-time and overtime clauses in your contract.
Keep messages instructing you to work extra hours.
Use the Labour Inspectorate/qualified labour advice for a legal assessment.
