[quote][i] 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.
The point I was trying to make was that the law insists workers have 11 hours rest between shifts. Do you think that an hour (or maybe more) of travelling at either end of a 12 hour working day adequately qualifies as a 'rest period'?
