Poll Started 14 April 2009: How many hours do you work? An EU Parliament vote means the UK’s current opt-out from maximum working week laws is likely to be scrapped in 2011. This means it’ll be legally impossible to exceed 48hrs of work per week, regardless of the job you do. I thought it’d be interesting to see how many MoneySavers this change would impact, by asking... In a typical week, how many hours do you work for paid employment? If you have more than one job, combine the hours for each together. If there’s no such thing as a typical week, average it out.

In a typical week, how many hours do you work for paid employment?

We try to use technology to limit voting to one per person. Occasionally, this may erroneously block a few people's votes (eg, from shared offices). Apologies for that.
