sometimes I get rotational day off's and some times random day off's. I work part-time and cover different walks/ don't have any particular regime, and was wondering what's the principle for day off's.
thanks in advance for your time and reply.

Re: day off question ?
At my office if covering a duty for the full week then they get the planned day off for that duty. If covering different rounds daily (but not a day off cover duty) then either a Tuesday or if manager is decent you can pre-arrange another day.POSTWOMAN wrote:sometimes I get rotational day off's and some times random day off's.

so basically its up the manager to decide if you are covering different rounds everyday.TrueBlueTerrier wrote:At my office if covering a duty for the full week then they get the planned day off for that duty.

I was just wondering if there exists such law by which my employer should provide me rotational day offs as thats what everyone else is getting.

No law, or agreement other than you must be treated fairly and must not be discriminated against because of your ethnicity, gender, age, disabilities or sexuality. Fairness is hard to pin down though.POSTWOMAN wrote:TrueBlueTerrier wrote:At my office if covering a duty for the full week then they get the planned day off for that duty.

thanks in advance for your time and reply.Afraid so, but they should give you a least a few days notice, our list goes up usually on the Monday of the previous week, although of course it can change because of sickness etc.POSTWOMAN wrote:so basically its up the manager to decide if you are covering different rounds everyday.

But you should get the same number of Saturdays as staff on a rotational day off.TrueBlueTerrier wrote: Fairness is hard to pin down though.
So if they are 1 in 4 - you should get an average of 1 in 4 Saturdays as well.
And that is in BT2010 as well.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
