Weekly rest and compensation |
|
| 1. | All stopovers that last longer than 45 h are treated as regular rests. |
| 2. | According to Art. 8 par. 6 of Regulation (EC) No. 561/2006, the program looks for optimal reduced rests longer than 24 h and shorter than 45 h (at least 1 regular weekly rest and 1 reduced weekly rest in any two consecutive weeks are required, and the next weekly rest that shall start no later than at the end of six 24-hour periods from the end of the previous weekly rest period is also required). |
| 3. | According to Art. 8 par. 6 of Regulation (EC) No. 561/2006, every reduced weekly rest (shorter than 45 hours) shall be compensated. The rule does not apply to the rests shorter than 45 hours marked as regular ones – in such a case an offence is generated due to the reduction of required regular weekly rest. |
| 4. | If a regular rest or a reduced rest cannot be defined in compliance with the requirements set forth above in item 2., the program defines optimal rests shorter than 24 hours. |
| 5. | If during two consecutive weeks there were one regular weekly rest and one reduced weekly rest, the latter shorter than 24 hours, the program imposes a penalty due to reduction of the rest to 24 hours and requires an en bloc compensation of the whole period to 45 hours. If the compensation is not taken, a penalty is imposed due to reduction of the rest to 45 hours. |
If the rest lasted 19 hours, the program imposes a penalty for 5-hour reduction and requires 26-hour compensation. If the compensation is not taken, a penalty is imposed due to reduction by 26 hours. |
|
| 6. | If during two consecutive weeks two reduced rests occur, the program – basing on Art. 8 par. 6 – treats the longer rest as a regular one (45 hours) and imposes a penalty due to making the regular rest shorter, the penalty being consistent with the penalty tariff applied by road inspection units. |
The analysis of weekly rests is much influenced by the options: |
