Days off per week

Post by lorri66 »

25hr permanent contracted started at beginning of feb. Now in the third week and have got 2 days off this week plus sunday, how come? previous 2 weeks have had just the normal 1 midweek day off and Sunday.
How do the wages work out when its a 25hr contract per week?

I could be way off the mark, but this might be the "2 Saturdays off in 6 weeks" shift pattern. I take it your depot has had its P&L revision?

something has been mentioned about a saturday off but these two days off this week have been weds & thurs. Surely you only get 2 days off a week no matter what these days are, obviously one is always the sunday.
In theory this week it would only be 20hrs work rather than 25.

The part-timers in my office never work tues&wed.
They are on a 3 days from 4 rotation thur-mon.
The number of days you will work each week will depend on your daily hours.
If it's a 5hr day it will be 5 days.
6.25hrs-4 days...etc.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share
