Can you work over 12 hours in a day UK? What are the maximum hours I can be expected to work over an average working day? Workers covered by the Working Time Regulations 1998 must not be required to work more than 13 hours per day and must not be required, against their wishes, to work an average of more than 48 hours a week.

You cannot work more than 60 hours a week (rolling basis). No single shift should be over 15 hours long. If you book a shift of 15 hours, you cannot book another one 11 hours before or after that shift.
