Money & WorkFact

48 hours, 11 hours, 4 weeks: the floor of EU working time.

EU Working Time Directive 2003/88 sets minimums for every member state: at most 48 hours a week including overtime, averaged over a reference period, at least 11 consecutive hours of daily rest, and at least four weeks of paid annual leave.

Useful: National rules may be more generous but never less – this is a floor, not a target.
