your weekly rest is 45 hours you can reduce to 24 hours but you must compensate this reduction you never said how many hours you have off on your day off. If you started at 6am thursday you can work legally until 6am the following wednesday on a reduced break

You can next work on Monday.

In any two week period you must have either two full weekly rests (45h) or one full weekly rest and one reduced weekly rest (24h minimum).

So in your example you can work Mon and Tue and then you must have a 45h rest.

Not quite correct.

This is an area of expertise which I only have partial knowledge of.

coffeeholic or tachograph or geebee45 are the best members to answer this :slight_smile: - but I’ll have a go :unamused:

I’ll assume that all your rest is up to date with nothing owing at this point :question: :question: :exclamation:
Work Monday
Work Tuesday
Off Wedensday - I’ll assume you had a reduced weekly rest of less than 45 hours
Work Thursday
Work Friday
Work Saturday
Work Sunday

You can now work Monday & Tuesday as that is 6 shifts from your last weekly rest (Wednesday)
You now have to have a weekly rest and add on to it the reduction of weekly rest that you did not have from your last weekly rest (Wednesday)

Now i’ll wait for a site tacho Guru to shoot me :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

if you were able to put start and finish times on the tuesday and thursday it might help.

cos if you finish at say 1600 on tuesday and then dont start until 1300 on thursday you dont need to compansate for that as it is a 45 hour break but if you are only having 24-36 hours off then you would be illegal as you cant do this every week as already stated.

Sorry lads

should have put the times in, i cant find my diary :< so hears what i do know

Tuesday 1300-1920
Wedensday off
Thursday 0530 -1830
Friday 0600-1900
Saturday 0600-1545
Sunday 0700- 14.50

hope this helps

Many thanks
