    Hypothetically, if I was working in a shop at weekends (part-time) and on Saturday I worked a 6pm-11pm shift (closing time) and then on Sunday I worked a 7am-2pm shift (opening time), would it breach the Working Time Act or anything like that?

    The exact rule is :

    "An employee shall be entitled to a rest period of not less than 11 consecutive hours in each period of 24 hours during which he or she works for his or her employer."


    I could read that either way.

    Excellent, exactly as I thought. Thanks for that.
