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.’

  • That wording is pretty standard for salaried roles, so yes, weekends can be part of it — the bit I'd watch is whether it's occasional or becoming every weekend. If it's creeping into most weekends I'd have a quiet word with your manager about what's actually expected, and keep a rough note of the hours for your own records. The one day off in seven is the other thing to keep an eye on.
