How many days are in a year?
The stock answer is 365,but with caveats. Let me explain a calendar year typically consists of 365.25 days, meaning a standard year comprises 365 days while a leap year occurs every fourth year, featuring 366 days to take account of the missing quarter days. Leap years are identified by an additional day, which is added on February 29th. To determine if a year is a leap year, you can typically divide it by 4. For instance, 2020, 2024, and 2028 are all leap years.

What are the working time regulations in the UK?
The UK, which covers Northern Ireland, has a working time directive that enforces a maximum limit of 48 working hours per week. This is averaged over a reference period of 17 weeks. This enables individuals to work more than 48 hours in one week, as long as the total number of working hours over the preceding 17 weeks does not exceed the limit.
This regulation also applies to people with multiple jobs as well. However, there are two exceptions to this rule: individuals working in the offshore oil and gas sector, whose weekly working time is calculated over 52 weeks, and trainee doctors, whose reference period for working time is 26 weeks.
