longs and shorts

Post by Bert66 »

Hi has anyone recently gone through their revision and still remained on a straight 7 hour 48 day X 5? Just they want to bring in longs and shorts into our unit but i am unsure if we are being given the whole truth from our rep as he says this is standard hourage now.

Make sure you agree your attendance pattern first ie 1 in 4 or 1 in 6 etc before you agree to longs and shorts as the pattern you work has a bearing on whether longs and shorts are needed/appropriate the office should get a vote on attendance patterns first

Lets say you have Monday off and you are FT.

That means your "longs and shorts" is giving you a 39 hour and 12 minute week. Your contracted working week is 39 hours. You should be claiming 12mins o/t if you work to time each day. ;)

If you aggregate it over a four week period you will work 156 hours.

Indeed but we are paid weekly not monthly so you shouldn't be aggregating it.

Out shorter Tuesdays are now sometimes out busiest day in terms of getting a move on to finish in time.
