2nd job but more than 48 hours.

johnlewis1901

Hi,

I am planning to start 2nd job for 2 days a week which is roughly 16 hours. I have a full time job which is roughly 40 hours. So it ends up being roughly 56. If deducting lunch break it will be 49. still more than 48 hours

I want to know, how does the agency find out about total working hour? and if there is anything I can do. ( I don't want to op-out because I don't want any of my employers know that I am working more ). Thanks.

It's 48 hours for one employer. You can still do extra jobs on the side and those hours don't count.

You may find your contracts oblige you to tell them of other work.

Thanks for reply. What your though about this information:
Working two different jobs

If you work for more than one employer, the amount of combined hours you work shouldn't exceed the 48 hour average limit.
If you work two jobs you could either:

• consider signing an opt-out agreement with your employers if your total time worked is over 48 hours
• reduce your hours to meet the 48-hour limit

Do you have a link to that as I can only find information saying its all work.

OP, does your job involve driving or other time constrained activities?

no it doesn't. Both regular office jobs ( it related)

So, is there anything can be done? How does the agency find out if some one is working more because my jobs are not per hour base. I get fixed monthly salary.
