how early do you finish on a sat? i class an 11am finish as late as we used to be done by 9.30am at the latest a few years back!

11 am "i wish". :nana

I have never got back that early since i started this duty 7 years ago the earliest ive ever finished was 11.50am :sad:

As for working rest days i did a couple of sats a while back but i only got around £39 after deductions so it did not seem worth it. Anyway i really look forward to my rest day :dance

its a rest alright - but your more recovering than anything else - ita takes a good 3 - 4 days to feel yourself again without the exhaustion

In our office if you come in on your day off you automatically get 9 hours overtime plus anything extra if you work over them 9 hours for that day and you also get to throw off at your frame instead of sorting mail into walks with everyone else. There is only a 3 or 4 people who will come in for this coz they know on their easy rounds they will be finished before 12pm even on the busiest of days. If they know they wont finish early they wont bother or complain about it so they can. The rest of us cant be bothered comin in to work to 4pm on your day off when the rest is well deserved. I get enough overtime just doing my normal round through a normal week. (No I'm not boasting about my overtime either)
