Does anybody know for fact what the minimum rest time between shifts are working within the Operations area of an Airport are?.
I worked for ServisAir and previously Aviance. At Aviance we used to start back on Lates then after 3 of them...went onto Earlies. When ServisAir came into it they immediately changed it so there was 11 hours rest period between shifts which they said was the legal requirement. It was easy to change it as we simply started on Earlies and finished on Lates.
Now working for Menzies I have often finished around 9.30pm then am rostered at 05.30am the following day. If you account for travelling home, eating (because obviously we don't get to eat during our shifts do we), - then sleeping before commuting in again you start work having maybe got a few hours rest.
- I've made a few mistakes when doing this type of thing recently, - can somebody clarify what is correct or am I just getting too tired to do my job well.
