What is the labour law for working at a radio station?
I tune into 680 Newsradio basically every single time I drive.
Chloe B and Andy P were the anchors for the evening show last night.
Kate H anchored overnight.
This morning John L and Kaitlyn L anchored. I was surprise to here Chloe B to be announcing traffic at 6am when she ended 12:30am.
Is there a labour law where an employee must have a rest time between shifts?

Early morning traffic on a holiday can easily be recorded the night before.

AFAIK, you have to have a minimum of eight hours between the end of one shift and the start of the next.
Possible that Chloe B stepped in to cover for someone scheduled or offered to cover a gap in the schedule. I worked all kinds of crazy shifts when starting out, trying to make my bones.

Is it possible she volunteered to pick up the extra shift? Good Friday is a stat and that means overtime rates. Doing a double would bring quite a payday.

At least part of one of these would have been recorded, likely the traffic.

At 680? No you are wrong. Sorry. 680 Is the only station left in the city that is always live 24/7 365. Always have an anchor and traffic working a shift.
