11 Hour reduced rest rule

Wee Man:
So if your having less than 11 hours rest on say x4 occasions over a 2 week period will I get an infringement ?

Not necessarily, you can have a reduced daily rest period 3 times between weekly rest periods not 3 times in 2 weeks :wink:

If you work Monday to Friday you can have 3 reduced daily rest periods Monday to Friday, if you work Thursday to Tuesday you can have 3 reduced daily rest periods Thursday to Tuesday ec’t ec’t…

A daily rest period of 10 hours 59 minutes is a reduced daily rest period, if you don’t have a reduced daily rest period available you will get you an infringement for it, it may seem a bit harsh for the sake of 1 minute but I suppose the line has to be drawn somewhere.

Even on the last day of your working week, if you don’t have a reduced daily rest period available and you can only fit 10 hours 59 minutes into the 24 hour period you will get an infringement, even if you’re off work for the next 45 hours or more … crazy isn’t it :slight_smile:
