Working Time Regulations 1998 Opt-Out Agrement

The Working Time Regulations provide for an average 48-hour working week, in-work rest breaks and 11 consecutive hours’ rest in any 24-hour period, 20 days’ paid holiday and an average eight hours’ work in 24 hours for night workers.

This means that employees are prevented from working any overtime which would result in their average working week exceeding 48 hours. However, this agreement enables individual employees to ‘opt-out’ and work in excess of this 48-hour limit.
