Only 48 hours in a week

Article Abstract:

The United Kingdom government has been unable to prevent the enforcement of the European Union's directive concerning a 48-hour maximum working week. The directive also specifies the provision of holidays and designated rest periods, although some occupations are excluded. Employers should review their workers' contracts in order to avoid possible contravention of the directive when it is implemented.
