Standard hours of work are 40 hours a week and 8 hours a day. Employees are entitled to their regular wage rate for work during these hours. Employees must be paid at the overtime wage rate if they work more than the standard hours.Back to top.mployees must be given a 30 minute unpaid break after every five consecutive hours of work. Many employers provide additional coffee breaks, cigarette breaks or other meal breaks. These are a benefit, but are not required.
So typically you would work say from 8:30am until 5pm, with an hour break for lunch (or around those times, depending on your workplace), so this is around ~7.5 hours a day. Lets do the maths: 7.5 * 5 = 37.5 hours/week. So you would typically work roughly a 40 hour week. It's not uncommon to skip lunch breaks, stay back late.. So you may well work more hours than this in a week, depending on the urgency of your work load!
