Hours of Work and Rest Periods Regulation

The Hours of Work and Rest Periods Regulation governs the maximum working hours and the minimum rest periods required for employees. It is designed to ensure that workers do not become overworked, promoting their health and safety. The regulation typically specifies daily and weekly hour limits, mandates breaks during shifts, and outlines time off between shifts or workweeks. By balancing work and rest, these rules aim to enhance productivity and well-being, preventing fatigue and related health issues in the workplace. Compliance with these regulations is essential for both employees and employers.
