Weekend shifts at your MC.

Post by hubbahubba »

Can anybody tell me how your weekend shifts are staffed at your MC(ie casuals/weekend only ag's/overtime and/or SA)?

It would be helpful if you could also give your MC as well,but would understand if you didnt want to give this info on a public forum(PM maybe?).

Thanks.

Swindon MC - Weekend AG staff (who seem to be in on overtime all through the week too) on varying shifts across Sat / Sun / Monday morning plus a mix of overtime and SAs. Our SAs we've been given notice of withdrawing them though.

Problem is at our MC the early turn is 0600-1400 tuesday to friday,with a 0630-1630 saturday which includes a compulsary SA for the first 2 and a half hours.

Hardly fair you have to work more hours than the other 2 shifts,albeit with the extra SA payment,but most people would forgo the SA to finish at 2pm.
