There is no legal maximum working temperature but the law requires employers to ensure "the temperature in all workplaces inside buildings shall be reasonable". The law on minimum temperatures is clear and unambiguous:13 degrees C for strenuous work, 16 degrees C generally.

There is no set maximum or minimum legal temperature in UK workplaces. There WERE legal maximums, set by the Factories Act and the Offices, Shops and Railway Premises Act. These laws were superceded by the Workplace Health, Safety and Welfare (WHSW) Regulations in 1996. Regulation 7 of the WHSW states that indoor workplaces must be maintained at a "reasonable" temperature.
The World Health Organization recommends a maximum temperature of 24 degrees centigrade (75.2 degrees Fahrenheit

particular, it is criminal. while you're a salaried exempt worker you won't be able to "swap" to hourly without being in violation of the honest Labors standards Act, a federal regulation. have you ever asked to artwork from residing house or shorten your artwork day? if your CEO is particularly purely working 36 hours each and every week, i assume it particularly is the place component of the subject is accessible in. I artwork with a lot of executives and it is not uncommon to get an digital mail interior the previous due at night or early interior the morning. basically because of the fact they are actually not at artwork, would not propose they are actually not working.

I am not aware of any laws about that. However if it is too hot where you work, you could ask if something could be done. If it is literally sweltering then there might be some "unsuitable working conditions" law which you could use.
