Friend of mine, is doing a spot of tramping this week, (Not me, coz I don’t do nights out.) and his working week is Thursday to Monday/Tuesday.
So this last week he’s done the following:
Monday 15
Tuesday Off
Wednesday Off
Thursday 15
Friday 15
Saturday 13
Today 13.
He seemed to think he could do a 15 today, because he’s been off Tuesday and Wednesday, but I’ve told him the working week is 00:00 Monday to 24:00 Sunday, and therefore he can’t as he’s already done 3x15 within the working week as defined, no matter that he’s been off midweek.

Is that correct?
Ken.
The Wednesday off (assuming at least 24 hours was taken) will reset the 3 max reduced daily rests
The fixed week has nothing to do with the 3 max reduced daily rest rules
It is 3 reduced daily rests max between weekly rests
You can have 3 reduced daily rest periods between two weekly rest periods, so he can legally have another reduced daily rest period today if he want to.
Three reduced between weekly rests so good for 15 today the lucky boy.
Note: An actual working week starts at the end of a weekly rest period, and finishes when another weekly rest period is commenced, which may mean that weekly rest is taken in the middle of a fixed (Monday—Sunday) week. This is perfectly acceptable — the working week is not required to be aligned with the ‘fixed’ week defined in the rules, provided all the relevant limits are complied with.
