4x15 hour shifts a weekHi All
I work for a breakdown recovery firm on a 4 on 4 off rota. I'm wondering if i could make each day a 15 hour shift without causing an issue? for example Start End Rest Monday 08:00 23:00 9 hours Tuesday 08:00 23:00 9 hours Wednesday 08:00 23:00 9 hours Thursday 08:00 23:00 4 days i know you can reduce daily rest to 9 hours between shifts 3 times a week but i also remember hearing that that you have to calculate it for each separate day Thanks
Re: 4x15 hour shifts a weekFrom the limited info presented, no.

Re: 4x15 hour shifts a weekIn that case no, it’s not legal. There is one “cheat” to get around that and make it possible though, and that is if on one of your working days you have AT LEAST 3 hours of uninterrupted break. That then would count as a split break and enable you to do 4 x 15 hours. Having said that, I used to work on recovery and in my experience you’ll not get many chances for an uninterrupted 3 hour break unless you’re keeping the vehicle at home and only responding to call outs.
