CDifficulty 3/5

Under Regulation (EC) 561/2006, what is the minimum duration of a regular weekly rest period?

Correct answer

45 hours.

45 hours under the definition in Article 4(h). A 56-hour period can also qualify as regular weekly rest, but it is not the minimum duration. Reduced weekly rest is below 45 hours and may be shortened to at least 24 consecutive hours, subject to the conditions and compensation required by Article 8; it is not an unrestricted reduction in any week. Eleven hours relates to regular daily rest rather than weekly rest.
