Example 5 - Back-to-Back Shifts
Example of a Prohibited Back-to-Back Shift in a Regular 8-hour Shift Schedule
Day/Shift | Begins | Ends |
---|---|---|
Sunday | Off | Off |
Monday | 8 a.m. | 4 p.m. |
Tuesday | 8 a.m. | 4 p.m. |

Saturday | Off | Off |
In this example, the employee normally works 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday to Friday. On Wednesday, the employee is asked to stay on and work an extra eight-hour shift. The employee agrees electronically or in writing to receive less than eight hours off in between successive shifts that total more than 13 hours (as required by section 18(3)). However, the resulting schedule does not meet the section 18(1) requirement to have at least 11 consecutive hours off each day.

Backshift Meaning In Tamil
There is no period of 11 consecutive hours off in the third 'day': The 'day' is Wednesday 8 a.m. to Thursday 8 a.m. During that day, which is when the back-to-back shift occurred, the employee worked 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., then again from 4 p.m. to midnight, and was off from midnight to 8 a.m. (eight hours). The employee received only eight consecutive hours off. While this schedule meets the requirements of section 18(3) (because the employee agreed electronically or in writing to forego the required eight-hour break in between successive shifts), it does not meet the requirements of section 18(1).
