Need to know what you did before the - work fri sat

If you have every sunday midnight off during weekly rests then that increases the options
If that is so then the last time you had 90+ hours off in one go will be a very useful bit of info

No offence intended but I don’t see how anyone could know for certain what’s meant by the above, it would help if you wrote an explanation of the shifts that you’ve been asked to work.

Example of working days:
Week 1. Work Mon Tue Thur Fri (Days off Wed Sat Sun Mon).
Week 2. Work Tuesday to Friday (Days off Sat Sun).

If it helps you can fill in the missing informations bellow and ignore any weeks that are not known about.

Working days for each week are:
Week 1. Work _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (Days off _ _ _ _ )
Week 2. Work _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (Days off _ _ _ _ )
Week 3. Work _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (Days off _ _ _ _ )
Week 4. Work _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (Days off _ _ _ _ )
Week 5. Work _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (Days off _ _ _ _ )
Week 6. Work _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (Days off _ _ _ _ )

Thanks - that means

off wed thu = regular for this week
work fri sat
off sun = reduced for the week below - assume 39 hours off
work mon to sat
off sun = extra reduced - no compensation needed - 6 hours of that can be used to payback the above reduced
work mon to fri
NOW NEED REGULAR WEEKLY REST for the week above

What has happened here is that a weekly rest for the first week is in the middle of that week
The weekly rest for the second week is at the start of that week
The weekly rest between weeks two and three is not used for either week
The weekly rest for the third week is at the end of that week

Thanks for your help Rog, well explained and understand now,
I sort of guessed that I could work that last Friday but knew I would have to have Saturday and Sunday, thanks again
