Did some tramping last week and the week before. Worked nights and slept during the day. I got 4 infringements all for the same week but I don’t understand why. Tachomaster says they are ‘24 hour work limit exceeded’. One for example is 'Start of 24 hour: 23:13 on 16/04/19 and ending 23:13 on 17/04/19. Total work 10:20, work allowed 10:00.
Can anyone explain this to me? Had my licence 5 years but never come across this before. I was under the impression you could work over 10 ours in a night if you opted to? Tell me if more info is needed.
Scroll down to the night workers section and you’ll see where you’ve gone wrong. Looks like there’s a collective agreement at your place that you can’t work more than 10 hrs in a 24 hr period.
I’d like to think that your workplace has a collective agreement however apps ■■■■ as tachomaster use the standard rules without adjustments therefore might not have recognised the fact that you have a workplace agreement.
Well I’m Ltd, so I’m not sure where the opt out applies. I mean, would I have to sign it at every place I work or just once for my own company?
Even so, I think I signed it with this company when I first started working for them. The sort of work they do as well wouldn’t work if they didn’t have the opt out.
I did know about the opt out that’d why I was confused with the infringement and had a guess it was Tachomaster assuming I hadn’t.
