If for example I start work on monday at 6am and finish and 9pm (15 hour shift)

Then I start work on tuesday at 6am and finish at 9pm (15 hour shift)

Will I have used my 3 reduced daily rest periods? As I also had 9hrs rest between shifts??

Thanks Mark

Nope not unless you do the same on Wednesday :wink: or start at 6am finish at 7pm then start at 4am Thursday

TWO used so far

I can see what you are getting at though

It is EITHER a shift over 13 hours OR a gap between shifts of less than 11 hours = not the way it is written in the regs but means the same thing
