      40 hours and 12 hours of overtime a week I believe, with 30 minute breaks every 4 hours.

      So

      • late last year, Supreme Court rules that the law restricting work hours per week doesn’t impact how hours a worker can be forced to work
      • the current government has introduced an administrative ruling that says well 24 hours of work is silly, 21.5 hours of work is fine under the 52 weekly hour cap.

      My understanding is that the effect of this is that you could

      • start work at 9am on Monday
      • come home at 6.30am on Tuesday
      • start work at 9am on Tuesday
      • come home 6.30am Wednesday
      • start work at 9am on Wednesday
      • come home 6pm on Wednesday

      Then that’s all your hours done… Off to your second job
