DDifficulty 3/5

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

Correct answer

At least 45 hours.

At least 45 hours. A reduced weekly rest is shorter than 45 hours and may be as short as 24, subject to the regulatory conditions. Duration and the deadline for starting rest are different questions: the general rule of starting weekly rest before six 24-hour periods have ended has regulated exceptions for certain services. Do not confuse the duration of regular weekly rest with a universal deadline for every service.
