Is it legal to work over the weekend?

Is it legally to work in the weekend? One of the employees contract said’You will be expected to perform your duties for 40hours per week, carried out during normal Woking hours. You will be expected to work such additional hours as are necessary to fulfil your duties properly, including on weekends.’

  • Yes it’s legal. Lots of people work weekends!

    It’s a matter mainly for contract

    The two provisos are

    Pay can’t dip below NMW so if the additional hours are “unpaid”this needs to be checked

    And the minimum breaks/ leave including one day off a week in the WTR needs to be maintained.
