I spent 20 years working in hotels so I know your background! I presume you meant started at 7 am and not 7 pm! That would not be against the WTD because you started your shift at 3 pm to 11 pm and then next shift was 7 am to 3 pm. So long as you had an 11 hours rest break before the start of the first shift and another 11 hours after the end of second shift then you are within WTD. What they couldn't do (and in all my time never did do) was finish you at 3 pm and then put you on a night shift starting at 11 pm.
