It's illegal for your employer to require you to work. That's not quite the same thing.

- Symbiote 11y agoAre you sure? I'm not a lawyer,but the British law seems pretty clear that this isn't negotiable: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1998/1833/regulation/11/made http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1998/1833/regulation/11/m... (The worker can ignore the 48 hour limit, but not the 24 hour break limit.)
- cyphar 11y agoFrom the link you provided: > an adult worker is entitled to an uninterrupted rest period of not less than 24 hours in each seven-day period The key word is "entitled", meaning that an employer cannot force them to work (or fire them if they don't work). The worker can choose to do whatever they want with their time, so long as they retain the right to exercise their legally permitted break. It would be a very weird law to not allow a worker to do any work related to their job during their free time. Would that mean that a musician couldn't play music during their free time?
