16 1/2 Hours on a Page, Midnight to Midnight! How and Why it’s Legal!

Описание: There’s much argument about counting hours and the Work Diary in general. Here I show you how 16 1/2 hours is possible and legal midnight to midnight when running on Basic Fatigue Management (BFM).
The most important thing to know is that your 24hr period is NOT midnight to midnight UNLESS you START at midnight.
In this demonstration, the first 24hr period starts at 7pm and overlaps the next 24hr period that starts at 3:30pm the following day. A new 24hr period DOES NOT reset the previous one, meaning you must continue counting hours forward until that period finishes. This example shows two 24hr periods, one 7pm-7pm and the next overlaps, starting 3:30pm-3:30pm. The first has work time of 12 1/4 hrs only and the second has 13hrs. On BFM you are allowed up to 14hrs in a 24hr period. There are no breaches 6hrs in 6 1/4, 8 1/2hrs in 9 or 11hrs in 12… However midnight to midnight (which is not OUR 24hr period) shows 16 1/2hrs. This is because we count forward from the relevant rest breaks, not backward as it was done in years gone by.
