Hours of work and rest breaks
16 – 18 year olds
If you are over school leaving age and under 18, the law says that you must not work more than eight hours a day, or more than 40 hours a week. You must have twelve hours rest between each working day, and two rest days per working week. You are also entitled to a 30-minute rest break when you work for longer than four and a half hours.
Time off for study or training
If you are an employee aged 16 or 17 and have not yet achieved a certain standard of education or training, you are entitled to reasonable time off work for study or training. The time off should be paid at your normal hourly rate. |
This is why i thought you would say more about his working hours from the link i posted.
Unless i am mistaken a 16 year old is still a child and he is still at school?
So from my link it says children can't work '
before 7am or after 7pm'
'
for more than 4 hours without taking a break of at least 1 hour'
Term time rules
During term time children can only work a maximum of 12 hours a week. This includes:
a maximum of 2 hours on school days and Sundays
a maximum of 5 hours on Saturdays for 13 to 14-year-olds, or 8 hours for 15 to 16-year-olds
During school holidays 15 to 16-year-olds can only work a maximum of 35 hours a week. This includes:
a maximum of 8 hours on weekdays and Saturdays
a maximum of 2 hours on Sunday
Just realised these rules maybe different in Scotland!
