If you get pulled by DVSA on Saturday or in the next 28 days expect a fine or worse possibly a short term driving ban,
Obviously I know my regs enough to understand he is not legal BUT how would they know unless he did get pulled over and he told them about the CPC day? All they do is download his card and the card will be fine unless he is so retarded he did a manual entry of the ‘other work’…
I always do a manual entry for CPC courses,I wasn’t aware this rendered me retarded.
Im curious as to what you record the day as on your tacho…rest?.

Only if you lick your windows.
I do hope you make a manual entry for any gardening or diy that you do at weekends.
On a roadside check it won’t flag up but there will be a paper trail to the course. When dvsa investigate a company they come in and want to see everything. Dvsa also now want manual entries for periods of rest. The new gen tachos proves this.
If you have a new gen tacho and have put it on rest for that course. Not only are you breaking weekly rest rules but you are now falsifying tacho records.
Now I know this isn’t the correct way or legal but if you like the job and got paid for the day and no timesheets where filled in I would just get on and work the Saturday nobody will no. If I was the boss and had paid for a course and a days pay then had no staff the next week I would not pay for any more training and leave it for the driver to do in his own time and expense or be without a job.

I may not of explained correctly,our CPC courses are paid for us and we get paid for the day we attend them.

Nope not on payslip as attended free of charge. Course paid for by employer
You was attending the course on the instruction of your employer so was not free to dispose of the time as you liked, therefore technically the course should be recorded as other work.
Having said that, as long as you don’t tell the DVSA that you was on a works course they’re not going to know unless they do a company audit, which isn’t likely, so if you’re happy to be working crack on, just don’t tell anyone about the course if you get stopped
A DCPC course other work or work? pull the other one, it’s a asses on seats exercise,Nothing much else, You could sleep through it (many do) hardly work is it?
Also as others have said if it didn’t cost you anything & you got paid for attending it, were is the problem? I don’t see one , it’s not like after you had done the 7hrs of boredom the boss wanted you to then do a shift driving for the same days pay is it, Crack on and don’t worry about the wheel tappers, there isn’t many bosses that pay for this crap DCPC nonsense never-mind also paying you the 5 days for sitting in a class room

There aren’t many decent bosses then. I wouldn’t work for any of them.
I bet they pay for the FLT driver to get his ticket - DURING their working week and every THREE years not five. I bet they pay Cheryl in the office to go on a Payroll course etc etc

That’s the way things are, drivers are two a penny apart from your big companies you will be lucky to find small companies paying for DCPC courses, and nearly every company that does have a in house DCPC Trainer or whatever will want to be repaid on a sliding scale should you decide to leave within the 5yrs , especially if they also pay you wages for the 35hrs
