A bit like when I used to work 10/14 shifts the first 'day off', you had already worked 8 hours.

what RDO? I've been working in same job for 26 years and mostly I get a Saturday afternoon and Sunday off one a fortnight.

Anytime I feel like, I work for myself (although I don't get paid for it ) so I can take off when and what time I like as long as the job's finished.

Having flexable hours is one of the perks of being self-employed.

Errr Ah Hmmmm!

You know - if it wasn't for the Police, Fire Brigade, Ambulance, hospitals, electricity generation, taxis, bakeries, air traffic control, newspapers, TV and Radio stations, petrol stations, etc. etc. We could all work 9.00am to 5.00pm on Monday to Friday - but hey Ron's out there doing it while others sleep.

The worst of it is when they bring you back for a 6.30 am start so you don't even get the whole 24 hours of your ADO off.

7 days work then 7 days off - every second week is mine.

No RDO here, work 38 hour week, 7am .to 3pm,Mon to Thurs paid lunch break included 1/2hr. then 7.am to 1pm on Fridays.
Sat and Sun work is overtime paid at a flat rate of double time

Every second fortnight is supposed to be my ROD days (Rostered Off Duty), as I work 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off. OT gets in the way sometimes (a lot lately) and that means 3 weeks on and 1 week off
