Sunday working and night working

Introduction

If you employ people to work for you at night, you need to know about the additional regulations covering the hours they are allowed to work, the minimum age of workers and health and safety issues.

Anyone running a shop or betting business that is open on a Sunday needs to be familiar with the special regulations about employing staff, particularly their right to refuse to work on a Sunday.

Complying with the regulations will make for a happier and healthier workforce as well as keep you within the law.
