Average number of work weeks per year is?

i know that there are 48 - 50 working weeks per year.Correction (at least in Australia) - there are 52 working weeks per year.Standard industrial relation laws in Australia at least mandate that workers can enjoy 4 weeks paid annual leave per year taken either during periods set by the company or at their convenience, leaving most people working only 48 of the 52 working weeks.This is important to note due to salary calculations as annual salary relates to the full 52 working weeks per year. (ie: If you get paid a total salary of $52,000 per year your hourly rate would be $52,000 / 52 weeks = $1,000 per week / 38 hours per week = $26.32 per hour)

How long is 3000 work hours equal in years?

The number of working hours, and working weeks in a year, can vary from case to case. You can assume an average of about 8 working hours a day, 5 days a week, and perhaps 50 working weeks a year - but it may be a bit less, depending on how many weeks of vacation an employee has. Also, an employee will usually not work 40 hours every week on average; it will be a bit less due to sick leave, vacations, etc. Anyway, you can make an estimate based on these numbers - probably anywhere between 2000 working hours a year, and perhaps 10-20% less than that.

What months have 5 working weeks?

IF THE NUMBER OF 'WEEKS' in a month is determined by how many weekly pay days fall in a particular month, then, in a leap year, and subject to a maximum of 5, each month has the potential of being a '5 week' month.In non-leap-years, and again subject subject to a maximum of five, each month except February has the potential of being a 5 week month,BUT IF A WEEK is defined as a 'working week', and the 'working week' is a period of five consecutive days followed by two rest days, there are no months which have or can have five working weeks.This can be proven as follows:A working week has 5 days.Five working weeks is 25 days (5 x 5).The working weeks are separated from each other by 2 'non-work' days.Between five working weeks there are 4 periods of 2 'non-work' days, i.e. 8 days (4 x 2)To achieve five working weeks you need 25 work days plus 8 non-work days in between.The minimum total of days required for 5 working weeks is therefore 25 + 8, which is 33 days.The longest month has only 31 days, which is 2 days short of the minimum number of days required for 5 working weeks.Therefore the maximum period of working weeks in the longest months of the year are four and three fifths working weeks.Of course, if a working week is only 3 consecutive days, then every month with 31 days and that starts on a working day will have 5 working weeks:Five working weeks is 15 days (5 x 3)The working weeks are separated from each other by 4 'non-work' days.Between five working weeks there are 4 periods of 4 'non-work' days, i.e. 16 days (4 x 4)To achieve five working weeks you need 15 work days plus 16 non-work days in between.The minimum total of days required for five 3-day working weeks is therefore 15 + 16, which is 31 days. No problem!If a person's 'working week' in a particular situation is only two consecutive days long, in months with 31 days the maximum number of working weeks is still only five.This is because, although the pattern of 2 working + 5 non-work days requires only 30 days for a period of five '2-working day' weeks, the remaining day has to be a non-work day at one end or the other of the month.

If there are 52 weeks in a year why only 48 working weeks?

If you work every week of the year, you will work 52 weeks. If you get paid every week, you will receive 52 paychecks. If you get paid every two weeks, you will receive 26 paychecks. If you get paid twice a month, you will receive 24 paychecks. I don't see why you say there are only 48 working weeks. Actually there are 52 weeks and 1 day in a year (unless it's a leap-year - then it's 52 weeks and 2 days). The other 4 weeks are "paid annual holidays" which you don't physically have to work but still get paid for.
