Re: Are you sick to the E.U.?

an employer cannot force their workers to work more that 48hours in one week...this can be averaged out over a period of 17 weeks(this regulation is as a result of the WTD) it is slightly different for doctors...their average is over a 26 week period.
Employees can choose to work more that 48 hours per week if they wish...but there has to be a period of 11 hours between shifts in every 24 hours.
