    Yep that's right re the 48 hr week

    You cannot opt out of the daily or weekly rest periods.

    You are entitled to one 24 hr rest period in a week unless you work in certain industries/sectors where provided you get a 48 hr rest break in a 2 week period they are complying - eg care homes.

    Entitlement given under Working Time legislation is not the same as enforcement. Are you sure that someone cannot work 7 days a week for 3 weeks?

    Weellllll.....

    I would certainly say it doesn't comply with WTR, but as you say re enforcement....if employer and employee are both happy and it's a "one off"....
