[QUOTE="104Feeder, post: 1153239, member: 42554"] I figured that. 1:30 a.m. finish Saturday morning means you would not have the 1-5 am period that day, so you would have to do it Sunday AM & Monday AM (reset 5 a.m. on Tuesday). Punch out at 1:01 a.m. Saturday morning and you've lost that reset period. As I said, you can still work but would not reset (your hours from Monday prior to Midnight would drop off and so on). I have a nice spreadsheet that figures out these hours for you easily on any smartphone that can run Excel. This isn't going to create a huge headache once they get in the mode of scheduling you either Sun-Thur or Mon-Fri. Our work rules count Sunday work after 2100 as Monday work so we get some people scheduled on Sunday then called in Tue-Fri (2300 start Friday is the killer). This will have to go away or there are bound to be violations. Sure, you can reset later but then can't reset again until 7 days after or 168 hours, so that just compounds the problem. Drivers are going to have to keep this in mind when signing up for extra work also. I get the idea of what they are trying to do but it remains to be seen how this plays out. Personally, I don't have a problem going from nights, to days, and back on nights. I sleep like a baby pretty much anytime I need to, and I don't need more than 6 hours total, 4 consecutive. 8 consecutive hours just makes me lazy all day. FUN FEEDER FACT: A study found that sleep deprived men overestimate the sexual desire of women. Now couple that with the fact that women gain, on average, 2 points on the 10 point scale when you're working (or women at your workplace) and it's a recipe for disaster. Awareness is the first step toward a cure. [/QUOTE]
