thats not part of the working time directive, dont know where you are making that one up from, the working time regulations state that there must be daily rest of 11 uninterupted hours, it apllies to the end of you last shift of the day and start of the first the working next day, so working 8-11 then 3 hour break and then 2-6 is perfectly legal and actually used in a few offices round here, it was an easy way for part timers to get extra contracted hours

split shift 9.35 - 14.25 walk, then 15.30 - 18.00 collection

[not me]

[dreadz]

yup , part of the duty

[not me]

yup , part of the duty

in real terms you are doing 8.5 hours max, inclusive of the break between shifts
what sort of gap do you propose between shifts?

[dreadz]

dont get paid for the gap ,

[dvbuk55]

You must be paid for the breaks though surely.
