(c) If, on the instructions of the employer, such an employee resumes or continues work without having had such 10 consecutive hours off duty, he/she shall be paid at double rates until he/she is released from duty for such period and he/she shall then be entitled to be absent until he/she has had 10 consecutive hours off duty without loss of pay for ordinary working time occurring during such absence.
