Part 135 Companies need to have their rest policies in writing. If they are not, then their GOM is likely not in compliance and the FAA should be bringing it to the company's attention. If the POI has not or will not bring it to the company's attention, there are several options a pilot can pursue, anonymously, if desired.

Just because you are home or hotel and not flying, if you are "required" to answer the phone or email, you are not ON REST. If you can't drink a beer because you don't know how many hours until your duty starts... YOU ARE NOT ON REST


And if the pilot can't document his rest, the pilot & the company can be violated by the FAA.

Just sayin'...
