Afternoon all, quite a few of my work friends start at 5.45am, drive a forklift till 8am then 1/2hr break, then put digi card in and then start driving,working in the truck.
Get back to w/house about 16.30 ish, take digi card out and jump back onto a forklift till 19.00 (thats when they book off ).
And the same workers do every sat morning too!
I can`t get my head round this concerning hours …rest…etc etc etc.
Thats every week.
Anybody help me to understand please, is it posible to do this
If they’re starting at 05:45 and finishing at 19:00 everyday they’re either booking 3 hours rest during this shift or not booking some or all of the FLT working time.
Without having split daily rest periods you cannot work more than 13 hours from start to finish more than 3 times between weekly rest periods.
As far as the Saturday mornings are concerned, that’s not a problem as long as they have 45 consecutive hours rest at-least every second week, so whether or not it’s legal depends what time they finish work on Saturday.

Of course it’s possible, whether it’s legal or not is another story though

Not legal if under EU regs if FL work is not recorded and if it is then doing 4 or 5 x 13.25 hour shifts means daily rest is not ok then if less than 45 hours off from sat finish to mon start then weekly rest is also not being adhered to
Probably being paid off a separate sheet for FL work but if DVSA have cause to investigate then many heads will roll
