When overtime starts in the United Kingdom
Not every threshold on this page is fixed by national law in the United Kingdom. The figures above are what the statute sets; where one is marked as not set nationally, the point at which overtime begins, or the rate it is paid at, comes from the employment contract, the collective agreement or sector rules instead.
An empty figure is information rather than an omission. Read the source linked below before applying any of these numbers to a specific contract in the United Kingdom.
Maximum weekly hours
The maximum working week in the United Kingdom is 48 hours, including overtime. Averaging arrangements over a reference period are common and may change how the limit applies to any single week.
Rest breaks
A rest break of at least 20 minutes applies once a shift exceeds 6 hours. Unpaid breaks are excluded from paid hours, which is how the hours calculator treats the break field by default.
