Suits some..doesn't suit others.
Half my office has been on the week off scheme since SDD in 2003.
When the rest were stuck on 1in6 Sat it was the better scheme but now with other attendance patterns and a guaranteed 1in4 Saturday off it's 50/50 which is best. :neutral:
good times, bad times you know I've had my share
