Where an Employee travels for 2 hours or fewer from an alternative workplace to their usual workplace at the conclusion of a deployment, the day of travel will be considered a day’s break in accordance with sub-clauses 79.19(b)(i)) and 79.19(b)(ii) above. Where the EMV Fatigue Management Policy and this Policy differ, the EMV Fatigue Management Policy will prevail over this Policy to the extent of any inconsistency.
