Working Time Regulations

The Working Time Regulations 1998 are designed with your health and safety in mind. The following is a very brief summary of the regulations – if you have any further queries, please contact Find A Job for clarification.

Working Hours

Under the Working Times Regulations 1998 you should not be required to work more than an average of 48 hours a week over a 17 week period, unless you agree to do so in writing.

Paid Annual Leave

You are entitled to up to 20 days Holiday Pay a year. For the purposes of calculating entitlement to paid annual leave under the Working Time Regulations 1998, your leave year commences on the date you start an assignment or series of assignments through Find A Job. Your leave accrues on a pro-rata basis.

You will only be entitled to take paid leave in proportion to what has accrued when you wish to take leave. Under the regulations you may not carry holiday pay forward from one year to the next, nor can we pay you in lieu of holidays unless you finish working for us. When you do leave our employment, any outstanding holiday pay will be issued with your P45.
