Winseer:
Wot happens if you get a 7 hour shift, and get let go home six hours early, one hour into it?Do you still need to show a break some hours after you’ve already bunked off, if you’re being paid for hours beyond six?
IT IS WHAT YOU WORK NOT WHAT YOU ARE PAID
Winseer:
What good are 3x15 minute breaks - when you need a 1st break of 45 minutes or second break of 30 minutes - to clear down your '45 and the 4.5hours driving time?
IF YOU KNOW THAT THE DRIVING TIME WILL EXCEED 4.5 HOURS THEN DO A 45 OR A 15+30 BREAK
BREAKS COUNT FR BOTH THE TWO SETS OF RULES
Winseer:
Take 15 minutes no later than 5hrs55mins into the shift
Take another 30 minutes no later than 8hrs55mins into the shift (earlier, if you’ve done 4hrs29m driving by that point)
Take a third break of 15 minutes between 9 and 12 hours through the shift
Take a 4th break of 15 minutes between 12 and 15 hours.Thus, 1hr15m of breaks in total - should be enough to keep the infringometer at bay IF spaced out properly.
THERE IS NO 9 HOUR RULE IF THE WORK/DRIVE IN YOUR SHIFT IS OVER 9 HOURS
