Hi, I think you find it's 10-12 hours by law

A:
yes because you have had at least 8 hours off.
8 countinuous hours of uninterrupted rest period is the legal minimum in UK.
And you can only work a max of 16 hrs in ANY 24- hour period.

A:
Yes, 8 hours usually is the minimum. However, a lot of people work 2 jobs or overtime and all that, and that isn't a question of 'the law' or anything like that. I work from 8am-4pm, then 4:30-10pm four days a week at two different jobs. Nobody cares if I've had enough time to rest or not.
