Any advice will be appreciated On our last CPC course we were informed of a possible change regarding manual entries
On our last CPC course we were informed of a possible change regarding manual entries. The instructor mentioned that in the future we will possibly be expected to record every minute of duty time with a manual entry for our previous and current shift times, start and finish. For example if we clock on at 6am. Collect our keys and paperwork walk to our vehicles and insert our digi card at say 6.03 am we will be expected to record the 3 minutes difference with a manual entry. Apparently the same will apply for the previous shift even just a few minutes will need to be recorded. He said there will be no allowance even for a couple of minutes. I fully understand the need to record let’s say a difference of 20 minutes or more. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Re: Any advice will be appreciated On our last CPC course we were informed of a possible change regarding manual entries
This is already the case, all work related activities need accounting for. So exactly as you've suggested the 3 minutes it takes to get to the truck from the office needs a manual entry.
Why are those 3 minutes any different to the 20 minutes you claim to understand are different?

I do understand the the need for accurate information recording. It’s just that I’ve never been informed about it before. We also get paid from 6am but arrive at work around 5.55 am. We weren’t sure if we were expected to record the few minutes we don’t get paid for.2321_croos wrote: ↑Thu May 02, 2024 11:20 am This is already the case, all work related activities need accounting for.

If you arrive 5 minutes early, then make a coffee or tea etc. and chew the fat with colleagues before attending/starting work activities you're not working so does not need accounting for.
Prior to acquiring my hgv entitlement drivers clocked in the same way as warehouse staff. But the time they were being paid for didn't tally up with drivers records. VOSA ( as they were at the time) didn't like this practice and thus the company started to transition to a salary based pay scheme for drivers to remove the need to clock in/out and resulting conflicting data sets.

100% right. Every minute of duty.

As far as I'm aware that's the law now.
Every hour you are being paid for has to be recorded
I stand to be corrected

and every minute you're not being paid ie. Rest has to be recorded too! In the old days ? was considered as rest...not any more! ?

He was really good and informative. I think the confusion was that we get paid from 6am. So if we arrive at 5.55 am did we need to do a manual entry for the 5 minutes difference even though we don’t get paid for it.

Any period not covered by an entry will be recorded as ? On the card
This used to be accepted as rest but it's not any more
It will shortly be changing to 56 days records

Have to put manual entry in for everything you do, so rest for at home etc.
Re: Any advice will be appreciated On our last CPC course we were informed of a possible change regarding manual entries
They want us to do that but you get distracted for 2 seconds by someone/something as you put your card a woof! No manual entry.
Why doesn’t the tacho stay on that screen until you press yes/no? Annoying.

Re: Any advice will be appreciated On our last CPC course we were informed of a possible change regarding manual entries
unless you're saying you record your travel time as rest (which is part of your daily or weekly your rest), then you're not doing it right as commuting to/from a fixed place of work isn't 'work' so does not form part of your duty time and shouldn't be recorded as such.

Always do it and always have. Get dragged into the office if there's a gap at the start/ end of your shift.

I thought that was the norm but I've heard of companies that only pay from when you put your card in, not for what you manually enter
Re: Any advice will be appreciated On our last CPC course we were informed of a possible change regarding manual entries
D&D Haulage in Heanor pay on tacho time but not sure about manual entries. I'd imagine they'd look at manual entries to check there was only a small amount of time manually entered even if they do....

It's nothing new. I did it since day 1 on the job. Manual entries to finish the previous shift, rest, start the current shift. I thought all drivers do it.
What if You get stopped by vosa and they check your tacho only to find some butchered incomplete shifts and unexplained gaps in-between?

Re: Any advice will be appreciated On our last CPC course we were informed of a possible change regarding manual entries
Amazing
Because under no circumstances would I record a CPC course, online indoors or at any physical premises in person, as rest. If I’m not free to dispose of my time as I choose, then it is not rest whatever the regulations may or may not say, and I have not checked. I will not ever record it as such, regardless.

The views on this seem to differ. Personally I can see why people get confused with all the misinformation. I chose to record my time on any course as duty time.

NOT at the request of the employer..
Who thinks, I know
I’ll just do a CPC course on my rest period .. happy days
To be honest
It just demonstrates how ludicrous the whole situation is that it’s even possible to classify as a rest period; more like a get out to make you work because you’ve had your ‘rest’
Re: Any advice will be appreciated On our last CPC course we were informed of a possible change regarding manual entries
That would depend on the circumstances of why you attended. If you choose to attend then it can be recorded as Rest. If you're obliged or instructed to attend then it must be recorded as Other Work. Whether you're paid or not, or if your employer pays for the training is irrelevant.
Re: Any advice will be appreciated On our last CPC course we were informed of a possible change regarding manual entries
if your work place have booked it and you go on there say so yes, as working time, if they ask you to go and you volunteer on your own time it's rest. If you go on your rest day it is also rest.
Re: Any advice will be appreciated On our last CPC course we were informed of a possible change regarding manual entries
Just for the record
If my employer told me to record a rest while doing a CPC in my own time I’d refuse and the circumstances that followed would be what they were. CPC course attendance isn’t resting whether you agreed or chose to do it (to humour the scenario) .. if you can’t sleep or unwind or eat or bathe or go running or whatever your relaxation method is, it’s not resting so the rules make a mockery of recording a rest period. Can’t say I’m surprised but I will not entertain it personally.

Excellent reply and intelligently put. I totally agree. Plus I disagree with the muddled information regarding duty time/rest and training. To be able to class an 8 hour course as rest when your mind is being mentally taxed and your absorbing information is definitely not resting. It’s actually proven that being mentally tired is harder to manage than physical tiredness. I’m constantly reminded by various people that managing drivers hours, rest periods and operating legally as a driver is quite straightforward.Doyon1412 wrote: ↑Thu May 02, 2024 12:38 pmJust stating my position on it that’s allnide+ppam wrote: ↑Thu May 02, 2024 12:38 pmmy employer didn't tell me that, the guy taking my cpc last Friday did.Doyon1412 wrote: ↑Thu May 02, 2024 12:36 pm

I totally agree. Plus I disagree with the muddled information regarding duty time/rest and training. To be able to class an 8 hour course as rest when your mind is being mentally taxed and your absorbing information is definitely not resting. It’s actually proven that being mentally tired is harder to manage than physical tiredness. I’m constantly reminded by various people that managing drivers hours, rest periods and operating legally as a driver is quite straightforward.. REALLY. If that was the case, Nobody would be asking advice on this site, VOSA and the Police wouldn’t be prosecuting drivers. There wouldn’t be anyone having their o license revoked and nobody would be prosecuted for loading vehicles incorrectly. It’s time for simple professional consistent training to take place. Plus stop putting all the responsibility on the driver.
imagine if you will, just how tempting it would be to make the rules complexed, confusing and convoluted, driven by the aforementioned agendas .. not suggesting that the various authorities would sacrifice integrity just to keep themselves in a job or to make money of course
