Evening all.
Im sure its a very frequently asked question but couldnt seem to find the answer im looking for…
Some guys at the yard say yes your fine to work again this Saturday some say no.So my understanding is that i need 45 hrs unbroken rest every other week, can reduce to a minimim of 24 every other week.
I work monday - friday normally but worked this saturday just gone finishing at 1pm starting again at 7am yesterday (Monday). So i had 42 hrs rest.
Will probably be similar this weekend as its the same job. Some are saying i can do it aslong as i make it up the following weekend (the 3rd weekend) so 45 plus 3hrs from the 1st weekend and probably 3 hrs from this coming weekend so 51 ish all together…
Hope this makes sense and someone can help, many thanks.
Generally you cannot have only reduced weekly rest periods two weeks running.
There is a way round this but it depends on what weekly rest periods you’ve had in the past few weeks.
