52 Hour Week (1 Week Off In 4)

Post by postman_jack »

Can somebody tell me how many hours a day I need to work for this option.

I know there's a thread on it somewhere but I cant find it.

Thanks

We've been doing it my office for 3 months but we are working 8hrs 45 mins a day and that adds to up 52 hours 30 mins a week.

Im confused with the timings

you get your normal basic allowance. if you have over 20 yrs you get the normal 6 weeks. less than that its about 4 and a half up to 5 weeks. plus about 13weeks rota leave a year on top of that.

you should have a slightly shorter days on mon/tues and sat. this compensates the discrepancies. a 39 hr week over 4 weeks is 156 hrs. but the 156 hrs is designed to be worked over the THREE weeks that you work, which is 52 hrs a week.

And how long is your delivery span on a 8hr 50 day?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
