That looks fine and the 60+ hour weekly rest will compensate for the reduced weekly rest of 30 hours.

You can work 6 shifts as often as you like as long as you get a 45 hour weekly rest in at-least every second week and can compensate for any reduced weekly rest periods :wink:

I don’t think the regs actually say anything about 6 days only a maximum number of hours between start your first and ending your last and obviously daily and weekly rest.

That’s right, your weekly rest period should start no later than six periods of 24 hours (144 hours) from the end of the last weekly rest period, that’s the only stipulation that affects how many consecutive shifts you can do.
