well i'm a shift worker on a 7 day roster and i get an RDO every 4th tues:D
geez louise...
I am meant to work mon-fri - fixed hours are 8:30-18:00, so 42.5 hours a week (on salary).
I actually work mon-fri 8:30-till I walk away for the night... sometime as early as 19:30, ususally later...
You guys are in a dreamworld with penalty rates, RDO's, long service leave.....
Did that for years in my current job. I built up 85 days annual leave and 30 days worth of flex. Got to the point where we had ti lie about my hours. Now I only do the standard except for the odd day. I also have remote access and work from home sometimes.Quote:

Every second friday:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:
Prefer to work the RDO if possible,time and a half for the first 2 hours then its DOUBLE BUBBLE for the rest of the day:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:
RDOs come in real handy at long weekends and holidays,you get 4 day weekends,and they stretch your holidays out real well.

Ooh! Green eye. Never mind, work hard, lots of o/t, save your pennies and pump up your super and maybe one day you too can take early retirement as soon as you think you can afford it. I did, and recommend not staying in the work force one second longer than you have to. Don't die on the job or shortly after.Quote:

I'll be able to tell you when I've got a job again. :twobeers:
I told them what to do with their job in November and have been working at home for SWMBO since then. Past 7 years has been pretty much Monday - Friday 10 - 12 hours per day, plus on call 24/7. Might go back to fly in / fly out again - at least then your days off are really days off.
But I'll probably enjoy another couple of months or so doing my own thing before I start looking again. :beer:
My previous job let me accumulate extra hours over a base 35 hour week to take a max 1 leave day per a 3 week cycle. Thems the perks of government jobs, certainly don't see much of that in the private sector!
I have just left that though for self employment, so now I get to choose whatever hours I work!!:D Don't get paid for the holidays though:( You just have to load your hourly rate to cover your "down time".:cool:

Along with DO for day off you had your roster.
I guess the philosophy was that we were possessions of the hospital and always on duty (a bit like slaves). The matron then graciously gave us time off.
