Ever heard of something called The Working Time Directive.........

Does your employer know what hours you have worked as they too have a legal obligation here.

Its more of a favour I think, prob get some sort of benefit from it I hope. IE, go home early, let me go to the driving range for the afternoon or something.

SECTION II - MINIMUM REST PERIODS - OTHER ASPECTS OF THE ORGANISATION OF WORKING TIME
Article 3 - Daily rest
Member States shall take the measures necessary to ensure that every worker is entitled to a minimum daily rest period of 11 consecutive hours per 24-hour period.

It may be a favour but it's still illegal. How much of a favour would it be if you were involved in an accident caused by fatigue ??????
I take it there is a "lone worker" (if you are working alone) risk assesment for the job you are doing........

Although things like the working time directive may seem a bit "piccy" by some, it is actually there for the safety and well being of employees.

Also, I can't believe that you are doing this shift without first agreeing to what benefit you are getting for it. Check your forehead for letters......
