Night Working Rights

Nights workers have various different rights to day workers, including the right to regular free health assessments, due to the health risks associated with working at night. This includes mobile workers and road transport workers, who are otherwise exempt from night working limits. Should a doctor diagnose night-work-related health problems in an employee, their employer must transfer them to daytime work where possible.

Night Workers

Night workers are those who work for at least three hours during the night on regular days, most working days or an proportion of days agreed with their employer and trade union. Within employment law, night must be at least seven hours long, including the period between 00:00 and 05:00. Normally this is defined as the period between 23:00 and 06:00, though employees and employers can agree to change this period.
