1 in 4 Saturdays off
Someone raised the question about 1in 4 Saturdays and wondered if its really true. We were told in my office it was'nt achievable so I wonder how many offices have achieved it. 
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets
Illegitimi non carborundum

Re: 1 in 4 Saturdays off
It would probably be achievable for our office if they'd replaced the 5 vacancies we've struggled on with but they're citing "revision" as a viable reason not to employ until it's complete when we're lapsing duties on O/T. We're an office that gets on very well on the whole, but there's constant O/T requests.

Re: 1 in 4 Saturdays off
Our manager has just been suspended post revision. Our new one can not believe we are still on a one in 6 Saturday rota. From Jan next year we are going to a 1 in 4. Way he has done it is that no full timer has a tuesday or wednesday off. He has also sorted out the part timers but im not sure how he did that. If it actually happens it will be the first Good thing that has come out of are revision.

Part-timers are on a three day week between thurs-mon with a rotated day off and one in four saturdays.
Full-timers day off rotates thurs-mon with one in four saturdays.
No part-timers in tuesday and wednesday and obviously no full-timers off tuesday and wednesday.
No reduction in headcount due to 1 in 4.
No increase in part-time ratio.
No ridiculous delivery spans.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share
