So, when you sign a piece of paper stating that you are willing to work more than 10 hours on a shift, does it say 10 hour opt out? or does it say opt out of the 48 hour WTD, been given some forms and 1 of them is asking for me, am I willing to opt out of the 48 hour WTD, I do know as a driver you cant opt out of that, but do some companies word the 10 hr opt out differently?
That’s something else I’ve never done.

A mobile worker cannot opt out of the RT(WT)R but they can opt out of the 10 hour night bit only
The normal WTD can be opted out of in its entirety
Are they giving you the correct form ?

you are aware that this 10 hour night workers rule is working time, not shift time 
or, are you one of those that still stupidly believe that if you start the shift at 02:00, you must be finished by 12:00 
with the correct use of the mode switch, it is perfectly legal to complete a full 15 hour duty period, and still comply with the night workers 10 hour rule
You can opt out of the 48hr PER WEEK but you still have to average no more than 48hrs over the 26 week period

Yes I am aware thank you very much, the question was about what you sign, not how the WTD works.
So, do you sign a 48 hour opt out or 10 hour opt out?
You can sign both but only the 10 hour will count for anything

We’ve not been given both, just the 48 hr opt out.

Sign it as its pointless but it still leaves you with the 10 hour night rules

Cheers ROG, so basically they won’t be able to ask us to do more than 10 hrs work on a night shift then? I don’t do any were near 10 hrs work over an 11 hr plus night shift, but the new owners could actually try to change that.
