WTD Reference-Period Average Tracker
Enter only the weeks included in your current monitoring snapshot. Review the 48-hour average, identify any week above 60 hours and calculate the maximum average available across the remaining weeks.
48-hour average
Weekly working time must average no more than 48 hours over the applicable reference period. A week above 48 hours is not automatically a breach if the final average remains within the limit.
60-hour weekly ceiling
No individual week may exceed 60 hours of working time. This remains separate from driving-time limits and tachograph rules.
17 or 26 weeks
The normal reference period is 17 weeks. Extension to 26 weeks requires an applicable collective or workforce agreement.

Reference-period tracker questions
Should future weeks be entered as zero?
No. Future weeks should not be counted as zero in a current average. Select only the weeks included in the snapshot; the tracker calculates the balancing position for the weeks remaining.
Is a week above 48 hours automatically a breach?
No. A single week can be above 48 hours but cannot exceed 60 hours. The average across the applicable completed reference period must be 48 hours or less.
What does maximum future average mean?
It is the highest average working time that could be recorded across all remaining weeks while finishing at or below the 48-hour full-period average. The 60-hour single-week ceiling still applies.
