A couple of questions.

Does time spent on a course count towards your WTD hours?

I assume if you are getting paid you’re at work.

Secondly, I invoice a standard shift based on 10 hours, I’m rarely if ever at work for 10 hours (usually 6 or less), my tacho obviously shows the hours I work and break/rest periods.

If I work 4.5 hours + 45 break, then work 1.5 hours then my shift ends, this equals a shift of 6hrs 45mins of which 6 hours counts for WTD, assuming I do this 6 times a week = 36 hours for WTD.

I’d obviously invoice 6x10 = 60 hours am I right in saying I’ve 12 hours left over for WTD (48 - 36 = 12) as it works on hours actually worked, not hours invoiced.

Thank you

gray area but technically yes as its training and you cant be at rest ie your not free to do as you like as if you get up and walk out you don’t get your hours end of .

I assume if you are getting paid you’re at work. <<<< Makes no difference

Secondly, I invoice a standard shift based on 10 hours, I’m rarely if ever at work for 10 hours (usually 6 or less), my tacho obviously shows the hours I work and break/rest periods. What you invoice has no bearing on what you work as per WTD , I could be employed for a guaranteed 8hrs get paid £100ph but the job only takes 6hrs , my work for WTD is 6hrs end of.

If I work 4.5 hours + 45 break, then work 1.5 hours then my shift ends, this equals a shift of 6hrs 45mins of which 6 hours counts for WTD, assuming I do this 6 times a week = 36 hours for WTD.
