Hi,

Has been a while since I’ve worked a few Saturdays. I’m planning to work this weekend, but wanting to double check before I make a mistake.

had rest on 4th, 5th and 6th (3days)
then worked 7th, 8th,9th,10th and 11th (5days)
rest day 12th (1day)
then will work 13th,14th,15,16th, 17th and if I’m allowed will work the Saturday 18th?

then will have Sunday 19th off work 5days Monday to Friday and then have weekend off.

I’m thinking that this is ok for me to do, but any advice/ input would be appreciated.

End time of last shift and start of new one would help
But I would say yes as long as next rest is over 45 h

My rest for the following weekend would be around 60 hours or just under.

finishing around 5pm and not starting until 06:30 Monday morning.

You’re asking to work 6 straight days. There is no written law that ever prevents that, until you go beyond something like doing it 11 times. As long as your weekly rest is sufficient after it. I believe you have 3 weeks to compensate for your reduced rest last w/E, but it sounds like you will compensate this weekend.
