Ive never worked these shifts before hours all over the place so is this leegal.
prevous weeks ive recorded 45 hours plus breaks. Off from Sunday 00.00 Am until Tuesday 07.30 more than 45 hours off again worked Wednesday finished 12pm until starting again 16.00 Thursday so 28 hour break.
Ive worked Friday night Saturday night Sunday night finished 9am monday and out again 4am Tuesday and again Wednesday 4am.
So ive worked Tue,wed,thu,fri,sat,sun,mon,tue,wed with a 24 hour break inbetween is this ok im thinking im ok to drive until 4pm Wednesday.
Ps Ive not broken any WTA with actual hours worked im just wondering is it ok to work 9 days in a row like this.
It certainly could be legal, but you haven’t included exact times so might/not be.
When looking at weekly rests, try to ignore looking at days of the week by name and look at 24hr periods from the end of the last weekly rest.
The main points of EU rules on rest are that you must take:
-
an unbroken rest period of 45 hours every week - you can reduce this to 24 hours every other week
-
your weekly rest after 6 consecutive 24-hour periods of working, starting from the end of the last weekly rest period taken
Drivers' hours: EU rules - GOV.UK
(Assuming you are on EU rules)
Tue. 07.30 until Tue.16.15
Wed 02.00 until wed12.00
Thu 16.00 until Fri04.15
Fri 16.00 until Sat 03.30
Sat 23.00 until Sun 10.00
Sun 23.00 until Mon.13.00
Tue 04.00 until probably 13.00
Wed 04.00 until probably 13.00
All duty rest breaks were taken and i was driven at most 6 hours a day.
In uk for working out a CDC
This week was a one off i usually only do 44 hours over 4 days.
As I see it
28hrs Wed 12hr00 to Thu 16hr00, so that is a legal reduced weekly rest.
One reduced daily rests after the weekly rest, so OK.
So long as you start the weekly rest by 16hr00 on the last Weds (you expect 13hr00) it looks OK to me.
That weekly rest needs to be increased to compensate for the short (28hrs) one.
45+17= 62hrs.
So, following week start not before 62hrs from end of Weds shift.
If the expected 13hr00, that is 03hr00 Sat, I think.
Hopefully others will double-check us out!
Yep thats what i thought it just as i said ive worked 9 straight days but obviously with legal breaks.
Weeelll… 
9 days by name, yes.
9 straight 24hr days? No.
My last 45 hour break(was actually 3 days)ended on Tuesday at 07.30 when i returned to work last week is it not the case that i must start a 45 hour break 2 weeks from end of my previous full rest period ie Tues 07.30.
Is a fuller set of rules, but
I can’t see any mention of that.
I thought the legal wording was that you have 3 weeks to compensate a reduced weekly rest
i think what he means is that you cant have two reduced week rests on the trot so if he has one full weekly rest then a reduced weekly rest the following week then he must have a full one the week after that ie 2 weeks later
As regards the compensation for a less than 45 hour weekly rest, it only needs to be compensated for if it was a weekly rest that counted if you see what I mean.
What I mean by that is, if it was an extra rest in a week where there was already a 45 hour rest taken, then it doesn’t need to be compensated for. However, it can still be used to break up consecutive days of work, so it does reset the rule regarding the 6 consecutive 24 hour periods you can work.
The trouble with these examples is sometimes we don’t know what was done prior to the start of the timeline you give. For example if your 45 hour rest runs over the end/start of consecutive fixed weeks, we don’t know which week you are counting that rest in.
In my place of work after you return to work after at least 45 hours rest it resets the two week period so i returned to work on the Tuesday at 07.30 after three full days off,
I must have at least one 24 hour break before 07.30 the following Tuesday(1st week) and must of started a 45 hour break at least before the following Tuesday again(2nd week)
Every full rest resets the cycle again once you return to work.
Obviously you have to watch youre reduced daily rests and working hours as these run like everyone else from Monday 00.00 to Sunday.
I’m not being a smart arse, but you are allowed 3 reduced rests between weekly rests, not in a fixed week.
I’m not going to disagree with u because i simply don’t know.
@noremac is correct.
From previous link to .gov
“However, this daily rest requirement can be reduced to 9 continuous hours up to 3 times between weekly rest periods (called a reduced daily rest period)”
However do not get confused with 10hr drives.
“The maximum daily driving time can be increased to 10 hours twice in a fixed week”
To emphasize:
3 x 9hrs off between weekly rests
2x 10 drives Mon to Sun.
