We are starting 2 in 5 soon, it’s looks ok, you also only work 4 days for two of the five weeks ( three only for me on bank holiday week coming later this month ). 8 hour days apart from Wednesday (8.30) and Saturday (7.40). The latest we go home is on Wednesday (2.55pm).

This is the rota breakdown if it helps anyone

[meako]

Look at it this way. 9 day fortnights 13 Saturdays off a year...2in 5 is 20 Saturdays of a year.

So 8.5 hour day Wednesday and your finish time will be 14.55 so you'll be starting at 06.25 ? Or are you planning on finishing on a 20 minute break which is still 06.45 wish we could still start that early

Look at the sheet I'm on about DM26 - if you start at 8am - 8hrs is 4pm finish! How do you finish at 2.55pm?

Those 8s are shift lengths not start time.

Correct

[Mr Rush]

The 9.16 Wednesday doesn't look very appealing to be honest, I've got a feeling that RM are going to try and stop us taking 20mins meal relief at the end of shift

With an attendance that long, I foresee us taking that second 20 minutes before starting the third frame.

I voted 2 in 5 (rather than 9 day fortnight, the only other option) simply because of the many more Saturdays off and only finishing at 1637 instead of 1657 on a Wednesday

[Benson97]

I just had a chat with my local postie. They've been doing DM26 for a month now and they got to keep their Wally week rota. I asked were you offered 2 in 5 or 9 day fortnight and she said "we didnt want that rubbish".

[zacattack]

Wally week still get the extra Saturday (2 in 5) which is tagged onto their rest week so they get 9 days plus their Wally week is now 4 on 1 off as opposed to 5 on 1 off, with AL it's not too bad.
Almost tempted me to join perm but apparently they aren't offering new starters Wally weeks so
