I know about 'working time directive' and so on 46hrs most, but what can he do without compromising its position. I don 't think that is being paid the minimum wage one or the other, however, has allowed two days off per week.

    It’s not legal… If he’ll go to court I’m sure he’ll have to leave. sorry

    r u seirous , 1 5 – 16 hrs a day. he must be rich. if he is not, then the hotel can be sued for descriminating their workers.

    Chef management is usually a salaried position but line cook can also fall into that category depending on the job.
    It is not unusual to work 65-80 hours a week.
