48 Hour Opt-Out Agreement

The original contract pack contains the formal working-time opt-out agreement. The key points are summarised below and are accepted when the form is signed.

1. The Working Time Regulations 1998 normally limit the average working week to 48 hours over a 17-week reference period.
2. By submitting this pack, the worker confirms they agree that the 48-hour weekly limit should not apply unless and until they later withdraw that agreement in writing.
3. The opt-out may be ended by giving written notice, but the notice period must be at least seven days and may be up to three months if required by the agreement.
4. Definitions in the agreement apply to the Agency Worker, Assignment, Client, Employment Business and Working Week as set out in this contract pack.
