Work Rest: Set Up Work Rest Rules
Work rest rules help you see at a glance when your crew members aren't getting sufficient rest. When a rule has been broken, the impacted cells on the Work Rest grid will turn red. You have the option to enable the STCW rules and/or add some custom rules of your own. By default, a rule will apply to all crew members, however, you can use rule groups to apply it to specific crew members instead.
NoteRules use a rolling period of time, which means that the time period can span more than one day. For example, a 24 hour period would be from noon today until noon tomorrow as well as from noon today back to noon yesterday.

- On the Personnel > Schedule > Work Rest tab, click the Settings button to display the Settings window.

- Select the Enable STCW Rules check box to apply all the rules listed below the check box.
