    Working Time Act, 1997

    Maximum Weekly Hours of Work The maximum average working week is an average of 48 hours averaged over 4, 6, or 12 months (in most cases no more than 4 months). Minimum Rest Times/Breaks You are entitled to a minimum of:
    11 consecutive hours rest per 24 hour period
    one period of 24 hours rest per week, preceded by a daily rest period (11 hours)
    15 minutes where more than four and a half hours have been worked; 30 minutes where more than six hours have been worked which may include the first break.
    Shop employees who work more than six hours and whose hours of work include 11.30am - 2.30pm are entitled to a one-hour consecutive break that must occur during those hours.
