Varies a lot as I'm self employed and working from home. It can be anything from 0 to 120. Neither extreme happens very often though, maybe once every year or two. Typical week probably averages out to about 45 hours.

To put this in perspective its a 40K job company well known for working staff hard but also looking after aforementioned staff.

Car + benefits on top.

Average probably 50h but I am well renumerated and have flexibility mainly so can take time out if I plan ahead. Saying that I have 20 staff who can consume time at will. Have done my time doing 60hour weeks and do not encourage my team to be there, I measure productivity and quality over hours - unless you take the Mickey. Generally smart people recognize flexibility and work accordingly. Ideally I would do 4 days a week but that is probably 3 years away and then I will go PT.

37.5 hours a week. Do 7 on 7 off 11.5 hr shifts so 34.5 hrs one week then 46 hours the next.
And all for a measley public sector wage..

Work 12 hours shift with 2x 1/2 unpaid meal breaks per day so classed as 11 hours. Work 3 days one week and 4 the next, often finish late but get paid overtime for the first hour I'm late and any after that I can take as overtime or start later the next shift.

So yeah I work within the working time directive.

Basic week is 37, if its busy I usually do 45 (OT is time and half)
we work a half day Friday, so it doesn't seem too bad
