Hi there
Basically got an infringement but do not.understand why
Monday 11.15 to 0100
Tuesday 1115 to 0045
Wednesday 1215 to 0100
Thursday 1215 to 0100
Friday 1115 to 0020
I cannot see where i have gone wrong so any help much appreciated
Who ever gave you the infringement should explain what you have done wrong. If they don’t explain what you’ve done wrong don’t sign anything.
I can’t see an issue you have took 3 reduced rest periods
Maybe was for not taking correct breaks during your shift?
Shift starting Monday is reduced rest. 01hr00 (Tues) to 11hr15 = 10hr15 rest. Reduced
Tuesday shift rest is 00hr45 to 11hr15 (24hrs from start time) = 10hr15 rest. Reduced
Weds 01hr00 to 12hr15 =11hr15. Full
Thurs 01hr00 to 11hr15 =10hr15. Reduced
So that is your 3 allowed reductions.
Do you see the reduced daily rest on Friday? Fourth one that week.
The regulations state that days are in 24 hr blocks from the start time each day.
You need a full daily rest on Friday, as you have already had 3 reduced rests. Starting at 11hr15 you must end by 00hr15 to get 11 hrs in before the 24 period from your start time.
Effectively any day with more that 13hrs start to end time must be a reduced rest day. Even at the end of a week. (Assuming no split rests)
in simple terms you went over by 5 minuets on friday
Thank you for reply but has tuesdays shift not had a full break ie 0045 to 1245 which i thought had me covered am i still misunderstanding
Cheers

it has to be all in the 24 hours from the start of the shift. otherwise you could do more than 15 hours every day
The daily rest period has to be completed within the period of 24 hours from the start of the shift, any rest that does not fall within the 24 hour period does not count towards the daily rest period.
Tuesday you started work at 11:15 so the daily rest period needed to be completed by 11:15 Wednesday (24 hours from the start of the shift), although you had 11 1/2 hours rest only 10 1/2 hours counted towards the daily rest period so that’s a reduced daily rest period.
Many thanks everyone, finally got it, so friday if i had started at 1200 thursday would have had 11 hours off in the 24 hour period and i would have been fine, lol
Cheers everyone for that
