So confused so help needed for clarification. Traffic office has said I have infringed on reduced daily rest? My week looks like this:
Mon start 05:47 finish 19:17 hours 13hr 30
Tues start 05:16 finish 19:32 hours 14hr 16
Wed start 05:14 finish 18:25 hours 13hr 11
Thursday start 06:05 finish 18:52 hours 12hr 47
Friday start 04:11 finish 16:56 hours 12hr 45
My printout is saying I needed an 11 hr rest before starting work Thursday but I understood that I took a reduced Monday night, Tuesday night and Wednesday night meaning 3 reduced?
So confused please help■■?
Monday night you had 9:59 rest
Tuesday night you had 9:42 rest
Wednesday night you had 10:49 rest
Thursday night you had 9:19 rest
You can only reduce to less than 11 hours 3 times a week. You must have the 9 or 11 hour rest within the 24 hours of start time. So if you start day 1 at 0600 and finish at 1900 but don’t start day 2 until 1000. It don’t matter about the start time on day 2, your clock runs from 0600 day 1 to 0600 day 2. Within that 24 hours you must have the required rest.
So Thursday:
Start 06:05
End 18:52
Clock end 06:05 next day so because you started earlier, you didn’t have enough break and is an infringement.
You have to complete your 11 (or 9, if reducing) hours Rest within 24 hours of the end of the previous Daily Rest. As you rightly say, you have reduced your rest on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (although you had 11h 25 between shifts Wednesday night, you had only reached 10h 49 within 24 hours of starting your shift). You have also reduced on Thursday night so that’s why you have the infringement.
At least that’s how it looks to me.
Mon start 05:47 finish 19:17 hours 13hr 30
From 0547 mon to 0547 tue = less than 11 hours so reduced
Tues start 05:16 finish 19:32 hours 14hr 16
From 0516 tue to 0516 wed = less than 11 hours so reduced
Wed start 05:14 finish 18:25 hours 13hr 11
From 0514 wed to 0514 thu = less than 11 hours so reduced
Thursday start 06:05 finish 18:52 hours 12hr 47
From 0605 thu to 0605 fri = less than 11 hours so reduced
Friday start 04:11 finish 16:56 hours 12hr 45
Keep in mind these two bits of info
Any shift that goes over 13 hours will be a reduced daily rest
Any time off between shifts that is less than 11 hours will be a reduced daily rest
Did you write the other one in invisible ink? 
Hmm.
I missed out that 24 hr rule aswell.
was pretty sure that rest is between the shifts. Well it is but bearing in mind previous shift start time.
My guide so far was time of the rest on the digi tacho.
So why does the weekly rest counts from the end of the last shift
Cooooonfusing.

A daily rest can turn into a weekly rest but the daily rest is still the first part of the weekly rest - both at the same time
Thanks for the help. Now I get it.
