No, you can work 13/14 days, then you must be given a day off. Are you being paid hourly or salary, and do you have more than one day off after doing nine straight? I remember when I worked a 6 day week on a variable roster and my days off could have been at either end of each week.

Covered by the working time act

(I think effectively it means you can work 12 days! But then you get two days off)
