Important Advice


Q. Do I have to keep any records when I only do local work under Standard Hours on a day?A. For a day on which you only do local workunderStandardHours,youdon’thavetorecordinaworkdiary.

Frequently asked questions


When you have to record in a work diaryYou must use a work diary if you will drive outside a radius of 100 km fromyourbase(100+ km work)underStandardHours.

YoumustalwaysuseaworkdiaryifyouworkunderBFM,AFMorExemptionHours(regardlessofwhetherornotyouaredrivingoutsidearadiusof100kmfromyourbase).

Youarenotrequiredbylawtoobtainorrecordinaworkdiaryifyoualways do local work(drivingonlywithina100kmradiusofyourbase)underStandardHours.Ifyouoccasionallydo100+ km work you should obtainaworkdiaryandrecordalltherequireddetailsonanydayinwhichyou do the 100+ km work.

Onlyeverrecordinformationinasinglewrittenworkdiaryatanyonetime.

You must record all details for each day on which you do 100+ km work,beginningfromthetimeyoufirststartwork,including any local work you do on that day.

If you leave on a trip that will take you outside a radius of 100km from yourbase,youmustrecordallworkandresttimefromthestart of the trip.

Steve starts work one day at 4am doing deliveries around town. All Steve’s trips are within a 100km radius of Steve’s base. However, at 10am Steve is scheduled to do a 100+ km trip – in other words, a trip that will take him outside a 100km radius from his base. Because Steve is doing 100+ km work that day, he has to make sure he records all work and rest hours he has that day, including the local work, beginning from midnight.

How long you have to carry work diary records with you Yourworkdiarystayswithyouevenifyouchangevehicles,employersorcontracts.

You must carry work diary records with you whenever you drive one of the vehicleslistedonpage7for28daysaftertherecordismade.

Mostdriverswhodo100+ km work will have to carry their work diary with themeverytimetheydrive,evenondaystheydon’trecordinthediary,becausetheyareonlydoinglocal work.Ifyougetanewdiary,youmayhave to keep your old diary with you in the vehicle while you are working tomeetthe28dayrequirement.

One day Greg undertakes a 100+ km work trip and records the work and rest hour details in his work diary as required. For the next 40 days Greg only does local work. While he doesn’t have to record the local work in his work diary, he must keep his work diary with him in the vehicle for 28 days after the 100+ km work trip.

After 28 days, because Greg continues doing just local work he no longer has to keep his work diary with him in the vehicle. The next time Greg does 100+ km work he will have to record the details in his work diary, and then keep the records in his vehicle for at least 28 days after each 100+ km work day.

If you are driving from WA or NT into a state or territory that uses the nationaldriverworkdiary,thefollowingrulesapply:

• IfyouwereinNTand/orWAforlessthan7days,thehoursyou worked and rested while in NT and/or WA count towards your total workandresthours.Therefore,forjourneysoflessthan7days,you should keep a record of your hours of work and rest while in NT and/ orWA(youareallowedtouseyournationaldriverworkdiaryforthis purpose).

If a Standard Hours driver spends 4 days in NT and has a 24 hour continuous rest break during those 4 days, that 24 hour continuous rest break can be used to meet the driver’s requirement to take at least one 24 hour continuous rest break in any 7 day period.

• IfyouwereinNTand/orWAformorethan7days,onlythetime youworkedandrestedsinceyourlastrelevantmajorrestbreakcounts towardsyourtotalworkandresthours.

If a Standard Hours driver spends 8 days in WA, the driver only needs to count the hours of work and rest since the driver’s last relevant major rest break on day 8. Because the Standard Hours driver is returning to a state or territory which uses the national driver work diary, the driver must be careful to comply with Standard Hours work and rest hour requirements beginning from the last relevant major rest break they had before crossing the border.

Recording of place and odometer reading

Recordyourplaceandodometerreadingateachworkandrestchange,includingachangefromsolototwo-uportwo-uptosolowork.

You only have to record the place and odometer reading once for each rest period IF:

• thestartandendoftherestareonthesamedailysheet AND

• thelocationandodometerreadingshavenotchangedduringtherestperiod.

Rod stops for a rest break in Singleton at 4 pm and records this place and his odometer reading of 94, 081 before he begins his break.

When he starts work again at 7 pm, he does not have to record the place and odometer reading in his work diary again because those details have not changed and the end of his rest break is on the same daily sheet.

Beasaccurateaspossibleaboutyourplace;incities,recordingthesuburbyouareinisusuallysufficient.

Donotwrite‘Melbourne’ifyouhavestoppedinBayswater—youshouldwrite‘Bayswater’

When you are located in a remote area that does not have a known place name,describewhereyouareinrelationtoitsclosestknownplace—forexample,‘CalderHwy,10kmeastofCharlton.’

Remember, you must record the place and odometer reading at the start and end of your rest period if the end of your rest period is on the next daily sheet. When this happens, you should repeat the place name and odometer reading at the end of that rest break on the new daily sheet page.

• countforwardfromtheendofarestbreak,neverfromwithinaworkor rest period

• countallperiodsoftime(worktimeandresttime)in15minuteblocks

• counttimeperiodsof24hoursorlongerforwardfromtheendofa‘relevantmajorrestbreak’relevanttotheperiod.

Work time is rounded up

• 6minutesworkiscountedas15minutesofworktime

• 32minutesworkiscountedas45minutesofworktime

• 2hoursand21minutesofworkiscountedas2hoursand30minutesofworktime.

Rest time is rounded down

• 12minutesofrestdoesnotcountasresttime

• restbetween30minutesand44minutesiscountedas30minutesofresttime

• 6hoursand40minutesofrestiscountedas6hoursand30minutesofresttime.

Part 4: How to count time

Working in different time zones

Driverstravellingoutsidetheirnormaltimezonemustensurethattheycountandrecordtime,includingnightrests,accordingtothetimezoneoftheirbase.

Susie undertakes a round trip under Standard Hours from Armidale, NSW to Toowoomba, QLD. She leaves her base at Armidale NSW at 4.15 pm and drives for 5 hours to Toowoomba QLD where she begins a rest break.

Because of daylight savings, the local time in QLD is 8.15 pm when Susie arrives, however the time in NSW is 9.15 pm. Susie must continue to count and record time according to the time zone of her base in Armidale, which means Susie must record the change from work to rest at 9.15 pm in her work diary.

How to count periods of less than 24 hours

How to count periods of 24 hours or longer - relevant major rest breaks

Periodsof24hoursorlonger,includingperiodsof7,14or28days,shouldbecountedforwardfromtheendofthemajorrestbreakrelevanttotheperiod inyourhoursoption.Toseewhichmajorrestbreakisrelevanttoaperiod, lookinthe‘Rest’columninthetableforyourworkandresthoursoptiononpage12or13.

Forexample,Table1onpage12showsthatStandardHourssolodriversarerequiredtotakeaminimumof7continuoushoursrestinany24hourperiod–thereforeStandardHourssolodriversshouldcount24hourperiodsfromtheendofanyrestbreakof7ormorecontinuoushours.

Ifyoudonothavetherequiredrelevantmajorrestbreakintheperiod, youmustcount24hourorlongerperiodsfromtheendofanyrestbreak Counting 24 hour periods

Therefore,24hourperiodsshouldbecountedfromtheendofthefollowingrestbreaks:

• Standard Hours solo–7ormorecontinuoushours

• Standard Hours two-up–5ormorecontinuoushours

• BFM Hours solo–7ormorecontinuoushours(orfromtheendofrestbreak of6continuoushoursifa‘splitrestbreak’hasbeentaken)

• AFM Hours–therequiredrelevantmajorrestbreakundertheAFM accreditation(asstatedontheAFMaccreditationcertificate). Counting 7, 14 and 28 day periods

Whencounting7,14or28dayperiods,checkwhattherelevantmajorrestbreakfortheperiodisinthe‘Rest’columninthetableforyourworkandresthoursoption,andcountfromtheendofthosebreaks.

• a Standard Hours solo driver would count a period of 7 days from the end of a rest break of 24 or more continuous hours

• a Standard Hours solo driver would count a period of 14 days from the end of a night rest break

• a BFM solo driver would count a period of 7 days from the end of any rest break.

Important advice on counting 24 hour periods

Bob works under Standard Hours. On Monday he starts work at 6am and does the following:

• 5¼ hrs work (6am–11.15am), then takes a 15 min break • 2¼ hrs work (11.30am–1.45pm), then takes a 90 min break • 4½ hrs work (3.15pm–7.45pm), then takes a 7 hour major rest break as required under Standard Hours.

At 7.45pm Bob has undertaken the maximum 12 hours of work time in a 24 hour period allowed under Standard Hours. Therefore, Bob can’t start work again at 2.45am even though he has had the 7 hour major rest break required under Standard Hours. Bob must continue resting until 6am on Tuesday morning because that is when the 24 hour period he began on Monday finishes.

Example of counting for short rest break requirements

Paul, who drives under Standard Hours, leaves on a trip from Melbourne to Adelaide after a major rest break.

Paul leaves Laverton at 5 am and arrives at Nhill at 9.15 am where he has a 45 minute rest break. At 10 am Paul leaves Nhill and arrives in Port Adelaide at 3 pm where he finishes work for the day.

If an authorised officer reviewed Paul’s work diary, the officer would need to:

• count from the end of every rest break to check compliance with short rest requirements for periods less than 24 hours

• count from the end of the relevant major rest break to check compliance with rest requirements for periods of 24 hours or greater

For example, the authorised officer would count from the end of each rest break at 5 am, 10 am and 3 pm to ensure Paul had at least 15 minutes of rest in each 5 ½ hour period following the end of the rest break. The officer would also check compliance with the rest requirements for each 8, 10 and 11 hour period from the end of each rest break.

The officer would also count forward 24 hours from the end of the major rest break at 5 am to ensure Paul had not worked for more than 12 hours in that period, and that Paul had taken at least 7 hours of continuous rest in that period.
