Flight Duty Regualtion Interpretation

Hi

My employer regularly schedules me for 60 flight hours in 15 days. According to governmental regulations, 60 hours is only allowed in any "half calendar monthly period".

My question to anyone is: what legally defines a half calendar monthly period:
any 15 day period (as I believe), or only the two periods of a month from 01st-15th and from 16th-31st (as my employer believes)?

Thanks for any thoughts.

chinny refers to the UK where with CAP371 its rolling days. There is no such half calendar monthly period in the UK so are you outside of the UK? :\

Yes, I'm in Switzerland. My company and my pilots union have decided to interprete "half calendar monthly period" as meaning 01-15 & 16-31. I disagree but I can't find a legally binding description of what "half calendar month" actually is anywhere.

Maybe they are correct. I just don't know.
