Under the Working Time Directive, workers are entitled on health and safety grounds to a maximum limit to their working time. This may not exceed 48 hours per week on average, including any overtime.

The Directive provides that, when calculating limits to weekly working time, the hours worked may be averaged over a ‘reference period’. This allows longer hours to be worked in certain weeks, provided that correspondingly shorter hours are worked in other weeks.

It further provides that time spent on call that is not actually worked does not need to be counted as working time and it makes arrangements for calculating the average 48-hour maximum working week more flexible.

Member States shall ensure that in no case will the number of weekly working hours exceed an average of 58 during the first three years of the transitional period, an average of 56 for the following two years and an average of 52 for any remaining period.
