    When I was working for Telstra I started on a 4 day week. That meant working 10hrs a day Mon-Thurs and having every Friday off
    It was great as what that really meant was doing **** all for 4 days instead of 5. Plus if you really had to get something done then you would get a Friday overtime day

    However by the time I left it dropped to 3 RDOs/month and then to 2. I was only there for about 18 months.

    rdo

    RDO = Rostered Day off.

    I work 9 day fortnights instead of 10 , work 8 hours 10 minutes a day but only get paid for 7 hours and 20 minutes , at the end of fortnight my employer adds the money that I didnot get paid for and gives it to me as a Day off, it's no money out of their pocket and I get a Day to do nothing.

    I'm about to start a State Government job that is a 72.5hr fortnight. I don't know if they have flexi, RDOs or nothing at all yet.

    Thats a 9 day fortnight, we work the same every second weekend is a long one and if it is already a long weekend then it's a 4 day weekend

    and we can bank ours to give an extra couple of days or weeks annual leave or work them at the appropriate O/T rates

    this is one of the joys of coming under the electricity distribution EBA

    If your working 72.5 your working a 36 hour week so its not flexi

    You probably get 2 RDO per month but wont be paid for overtime till you either work more than 8 hours per day or 40 in week as your ord time is being banked for the RDO till then. If your not getting an RDO then overtime is payable for working after 7.2 hour per day, 36 hours per week or 72 hours per fortnight

    Flexi time is where you work additional hours over 38 hours don't get paid overtime (uness directed to work overtime by supervisor) but you can bank the hours and take them at later date.

    I did my first day today. It is 9-5 and 36.25hrs/week with flexi time. So if I do a 30min lunch break instead of 45 then I clock up 1hr 15mins/week without even thinking about it. Easy to do since it's an office job and is dead easy. Plenty of time to relax without wasting your own time to do it
