What must staff do if they accept additional shifts beyond their scheduled hours?

The requirement to ensure that staff do not exceed their time limits when accepting additional shifts is crucial for maintaining a healthy work-life balance and complying with labor laws regarding work hours. This is especially important in environments like aquatic facilities, where staff may already be working long hours or irregular schedules. By monitoring their total hours worked, staff can avoid burnout and ensure that they stay within the maximum hours allowed, which can vary by regulatory standards or company policy.

While it’s important to communicate with management and keep accurate records, the primary focus is on the employee's responsibility to manage their hours effectively. This proactive approach helps prevent potential legal issues related to overtime and ensures that employees remain fit to perform their duties safely and effectively.
