" How many Hours a Week do you Work "

[Auric Goldfinger]

Do you Work, Days, Nights, Shifts, Long/short Days or what:-

Me, I work shifts.

I work on a 12 Week roster, sat/sun in with the working Week. Week starts on a Sunday. I get decent time off as Rest Days are grouped together,2days one week, 3 the next = 5days off (Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon, Tues,)

Some weeks work 50+ hours some weeks less than 20

Suits me fine.

I was filling a form in the other day and one of the questions was about work hours.

At the moment, on average, I think it's around 60!

[mikey vrs]

I work days, 37 hours a week.

[BossFox]

Hours worked, or hours located in the office?

Technically, it's about 40 and no weekends!

Monday to Friday 3pm till about 2am so about 55hrs a week, so much for the working time directive of avarage 48hr week, don't you just love POA's

[Mike B]

I work 5 over 7 alternating earlies and backs.

Contracted for 7h48 per day 39hrs/week. With local agreement that shifts can be extended to, But not beyond 8h15.

Anything over 7h48 is paid at the OT rate. Either weekday, Weekend or Public holiday rate.

A bonus is there are still a few 7 hour shifts, And a paid break!

One day off and one working rest day per week in a pattern that gives a long weekend (Fri, Sat, Sun & Mon) every fifth week!

5 weeks holidays in a pre determined 10 year cycle plus 8 Public holidays!

I'm contracted for 37.5, but I guess it works out nearer 40-50. As I work from home a lot, I always feel that I need to do more hours to justify it. Sad, aren't I? Working in a big international. IT company, I have the Indians mailing me from 3 am and the Americans until late evening. I sometimes have to turn off my Blackberry to stop myself emailing until bedtime.

As little as possible if I'm honest ......................

I do 9.30 til 4.45 in the day job unless covering staff holidays which can be up until 8ish in the evening

Then I take on IT work in the evening which can mean out until 10.30 ish and up until 2-3am some nights.

Pays the bills

[Stevoraith]

I work 12 hour shifts, 7am to 7pm, four days on then four days off.

Averages out at 42 hours per week.

Obviously that means I work quite a lot of weekends (exactly half of all weekends infact) but the four days off makes up for it!

[Mr Grumpy]

I go to work up to 37 hours a week, and refuse any overtime.

My shifts include 4 am starts and 0015 finishes.

As far as working goes I don't actually do any, because I am so good at my job, and so admired, the minions do my work for me.

[David 8]

Forgot to add the time I "work" on this site, numerous hours put in here each week.........Doesn't pay any bills

[vRSsunroof]

moday to friday - 9:00 till 17:30

But my lunch hour is unpaid and if something happens outside these hours i can do then i tend to get stuck in. the joys of sales, dont put the effort in dont get the money.

[chrisw880]

Oh yes it makes a complete farce of the WTD!!

Mine varies between 40hrs (rarely happens) - 70hrs per week, but always seem to work out less than the 48hrs WTD maximum

[Jono76]

My working week is Mon to Fri - 9am to 5pm, however:-

1) The latest I've got into the office this week was 8am

2) We don't get an official lunch break as the company buys our lunch and we tend to eat at our desks

3) I take work home and probably average 1 hour a night answering e-mails

4) We have offices in France, Germany, Spain, India, Middle East, Australia, USA all with their own working hours so my mobile can ring at ANY time

5) I still love it and get very well 'looked after'

Just think of all the respect and adulation you get though

I actually work longer hours than I am paid for, unlike many :'(

I'm a member of that club too - thankfully in my case although I am not paid for the hours I do extra I am rewarded in other ways

I hope you're not sleeping with the boss!

[Jono76]

I hope you're not sleeping with the boss!

Oh my god no..................................................he's not my type

I've only been with the company since May 2010 but in that time I've had a pay rise, a paid night out for my family and numerous other perks

[TriggerFish]

7 hours a week - over 1 day in retail.

8 hours a week as a volunteer at a school 1 day a week.

The rest in, or working towards, university.

[Jonny5ive]

My contract is for +/-167hrs a month.

I'll often start at 8am and work through til 10pm. Some weeks I'll only work for two days.

All depends on the business.

[Llanigraham]

Stop moaning Auric, you know what the railways like!

My shift pattern, all 12 hour shifts, Sundays as overtime:

Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, nights

Thur, Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, off

Thur, Fri, Sat, Sun, days

Mon, Tue, Wed, off

Thurs, Fri, Sat, nights

Sun off

Mon, Tue, Wed, days

Thur, Fri, Sat, off

(14 shifts in 28 days)

then back to the start again,

So longest week is 48 hours, and legally we cannot work more than 72 hours in any 7 day period.

[Auric Goldfinger]

Stop moaning Auric, you know what the railways like!

If you add up all my Rest Days, Holidays and the 9 floating days I Work 192 days of the year

Who's Moaning
