<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nige123, post: 12224512, member: 339191&quot;]Hi all, first post on this forum. I&#039;m looking for some guidance on an issue I have.</p><p><br /></p><p>I drive a bin lorry using a a tacho on domestic hours. For about 4 months now I have have been working this run. I have 2 loaders making us a 3 man crew. We do a set run so the route is the same all the time.</p><p><br /></p><p>It takes 3 men 9 hours to complete the days work. The company have now said we are going to have to do the run as a 2 man crew. It seems to me if it takes 3 men 9 hours it will take 2 men 12 hours minimum. I worked that out on the basis of 3 hours per man.</p><p><br /></p><p>The company has also now said overtime is compulsory.</p><p>It seems to me just because they take a man off the crew they can&#039;t call it overtime. Surely if my truck breaks down and I do an hour&#039;s extra work that&#039;s overtime.</p><p><br /></p><p>Overtime is not a transport planner routing more work than is possible to complete in one day. It seems on demestic hours I can only have a tacho in for 11 hours anyway.</p><p>We were told our working hours are be 0615 to 1515.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway the question is am I right in saying no. I&#039;m planing on bringing my truck back to the depot at the same time as always so I can clock out at 1515 I&#039;m happy to work as a 2 man crew so long as I&#039;m not expected to do the work of 3 men</p><p><br /></p><p>Surely the company is under some legal requirement not to issue more work than is possible.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
