women working hours

As per the present labour act, what are the max number of hours in a day made to work by women labourers

Quick Summary

Under current UK labour law, there is no distinction in maximum daily working hours between male and female labourers. The law generally stipulates 8 hours per day and a maximum of 48 hours per week for all adult workers, aligning with the principle of equal work for equal pay. If you have a specific situation in mind, providing more context would allow for a more detailed explanation.

'Equal work- Equal pay" is the principle, there is no such gender priority in working hours.
