Working Time Regulations 1998

Okay kiddo, so working time regulations are rules that the government made up to make sure that grown-ups who work don't work too much and get tired and sick.

The rules say that adults who work should not work more than 48 hours a week on average, and they should have breaks during their workday. They also need to have a certain amount of time off work during the week, which is usually Sunday.

These rules are meant to make sure that grown-ups who work have time to rest and spend time with their families and friends. It's important for them to have a good work-life balance, so they don't get stressed out or get sick from working too much.

So remember, these rules are there to help grown-ups who work stay healthy and happy, just like how your teacher makes sure you have breaks during the school day and don't work too hard, so you can learn and have fun at the same time.
