Check a single employee's week for the basics — general guidance, not legal advice. See the full Rest Day Requirements guide for the shift-worker-specific rules and the roster record-keeping requirement.
Tick each day this employee is scheduled to work
1 rest day scheduled this week

ShiftMate checks rest days automatically as it builds the schedule.
