From memory, there is no blanket exemption for care workers, but there is an exclusion for workers changing shift patterns from, say, lates to earlies where there would be no time for an 11 hour break.

Must be thinking of that then, sorry. But all I know is the 24 hour break in a week rule doesn't apply to care, as long as they make it up like 48 hours in a fortnight

Hope OP will not take offense, it is all very well looking out for him, but we are talking about an 18 year old man here aren't we.

No offence taken, it's his first job and I just want him to be treated fairly as any other adult. Yes he is 18, I told him, "welcome to a mans world". Just because he is 18 doesn't mean that he can be exploited though.

Whoopy-do for you.

So your employer is breaking the law and you are colluding with them to do so. Does that make you feel better?

I sometimes started work at 6am, didn't finish til 9pm and then started work again at 6am and could do that three days in a row. I sometimes worked 84hr weeks with only 24 hrs off as a weekly rest.

Was my employer breaking the law?

He works in a restaurant and is only doing a 40hr week and not doing split shifts? He should consider himself lucky in that case - a great many jobs in restaurants are not like that.

He is contracted to 40 hours a week, but in reality can be working many more hours than that, he doesn't mind as it is extra wages (from next week).

My original question was about the 11 hour rule while in training, plus extra hours while training but only getting £240 for it.

Come next week he will be earning lots of overtime.

The rules can apply differently for that kind of work, the goal is 90hrs rest a week(averaged).

I don't really care, to be honest.

Because you don't know what you're on about.

How on earth can you effictively train someone when they need to do ~50 hours in a week.

Also, 14 hours in a restaurant? is he doing breakfast to close?

Quite normal - prep all day, work the service then clean down. Maybe they do lunch also.
