The Regulations were previously amended, with effect from 6 April 2003, to provide enhanced rights for adolescent workers. Because of these amendments to the Regulations, sections of the guidance have been revised. These are: Section 2: Working time limits and Section 3: Working at night - see Your guide to the Working Time Regulations.
The basic rights and protections that the Regulations provide are:
a limit of an average of 48 hours a week which a worker can be required to work (though workers can choose to work more if they want to).
a limit of an average of 8 hours work in 24 which nightworkers can be required to work.
a right for night workers to receive free health assessments.
a right to 11 hours rest a day.a right to a day off each week.
a right to an in-work rest break if the working day is longer than 6 hours.
a right to 4 weeks paid leave per year.
