Take it easy ratter.

[welshtanner]

Is that legal?

[NoMercy]

It depends on the job. If he were an HGV driver or a pilot, no it wouldn't be.

[Old_Geezer]

That must be some rat invasion !

[murraymints]

ratter works in the care of the elderly OG..

[Old_Geezer]

Ah. I thought the rats were rushing to the UK because they were abandoning the sinking EU ship ;-)

[murraymints]

[waterboatman]

Is that the European Union Ship Dictator?

I have done many 12 hour shifts in the past, but never any 15 hour shifts.
Gawd the 12 hour shifts were a killer, best of luck RATTER.

I've worked 24 hour shifts. They can be fun! (I turned down the most recent offer of one though. 24 hours locked inside the secure area of a Metropolitan Police station, noting the movement of vehicles going in and out, simply didn't appeal to me!)

The answer to Welshtanner's question about whether it's legal or not (in relation to Ratter's work, not mine) is simply "No, it isn't!".

The law doesn't limit the length of a shift but it does require a minimum 11-hour break between the end of one day's work and the start of another. So Ratter's working hours are illegal unless:
(a) he starts work progressively later each day, to ensure that he gets an 11-hour break ; or
(b) he's self-employed (in which case he's free to determine his own working hours).

Yay!! they gave me the day off, I think its only due to my car being serviced though.
