An interesting test case might be made of the 11 hours consecutive rest period. Does travelling to and from work for example count as a 'work' period or 'rest' period? [quote]
As I understand it travel to and from work does not count as work time. Think about it, no-one gets paid for commuting otherwise delayed trains wouldn't be such an issue [:I] (I love living close enough to work to be able to walk in these days )
Travel to work would only count as a 'work' period if the person were for example driving a works minibus to get other staff to site and back, etc.
