The problem occurs when for example you are rostered on for night shift say on call form Wed night 1800 and than get called out at 0100 on Thursday, does the hours become part of the Wed rostered period or Thurs rostered period and depending on the case when you are running out of Duty hours in 14 days time do you recieve those hours back on the Wed or the thurs or do you click the next day to see how many hours you get back after midnight. Things can get worse, are you doing 90 hours of duty in 14 consecutive days or 100 hours, this problem only applies to a small group of people that are affected by a stanby call out rostering system. Perhaps the days and nights need to be replaced by the word rostered shift, ie not person can work more than 90 hours over 10 rostered shifts in a 14 day (0000-2359.9) there only lost 0.1 of a minute or 6secs. Airmed doesn't affect you anyway you are always overnighting in Perth.....
