Hi,

Does anyone know, or know where I could find out when the law came into force where people under the age of 18 can work no more than 40 hours in a week and need 2 days rest period etc??

I'm really sorry if this is in the wrong place....

Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Spending_Vs_Saving

The Working Time Regulations 1999 (as amended) [1] apply to all workers, with some additional provisions available for young workers (below 18 years but above the MSLA). This guidance contains a full list of local ACAS telephone numbers.
Briefly, young workers have special rights under the Working Time Regulations. The rights of young workers - those over the minimum school leaving age but under 18 and those under the minimum school age on approved work experience schemes - differ in the following ways:

• a limit of eight hours working time a day and 40 hours a week (unless there are special circumstances);
• not to work either between 10pm and 6am or between 11pm and 7am (except in certain circumstances);
• 12 hours' rest between each working day;
• two days' weekly rest and a 30-minute in-work rest break when working longer than four and a half hours.
