what is the minuim time between shifts at work?

Answer 1

As someone said earlier the minimum rest period is 11 hours, but this does not mean that YOU CANNOT choose to work within the 11hour slot, just your employer cannot request you too

Answer 2

if your in Britain i think you are only legally obliged to work 37 1/2 hours. for shift work you can decide to do double shifts if you want. thats 16 hours and then an 8 hour break. but most shifts operate on cycles. 8-5 5-12 and 12-8. if your being messed about and being ordered to do extra hours take it up with your shop steward or company rep or the CAB. the days of tugging your forelock at the manager and calling him sir are long gone. we! are the cog that turns the wheel that turns the shaft that turns the cog.
