Working hours help

[Jay.Gti]

Hi all,

 

Hope someone can help as im getting a bit confused lol.

 

Right cut the long story short, basicly i work a 9 and a half hour day at work (contracted hours) had a meeting today about the night shift starting on monday with the hours of work the same 9 and a half hours.

 

Ive had a look on a few websites and there saying it should be 8 hours of night work within 24 hours.

 

My Manager stated today that there not breaking any rules at all, we all have a meeting again tomorrow about planning the shift etc so any info for now would be helpful so i can have a rant tommorow

 

Thanks

not really security guards work 12 hour shifts - and that includes days and nights

 

i was working nights for 2 years and was woking 10 hours a night for 5 nights

Clicky Page i just read.

 

From the part Exceptions to night working time limits.

 

Security Work is listed there nothing about mine Warehouse Opt.

i work at nights 10 hours a night 5 days a week

[trickydicky]

don't think there's anything wrong with that, apart from you getting extra pay for unsociable hours?

i used to work for nightspeed years ago i did 14 hour shifts 5 days a week on nights

Are you gettting paid any extra for 9.5 hours over the night instead of the day?

 

What do you mean by nights anyway?

 

My shift pattern is.

2 12 hour days, followed by 24 hours rest

2 12 hour nights followed by 5 full days rest

2 12 hour days followed by 24 hours rest

3 12 hour nights followed by 4 full days rest

3 12 hour days then 24 hours rest

2 12 hour nights followed by 5 days rest then back to the top

 

My pay is a salary and is no different to any other job in the airforce I could do (I used to work 5 9.5 hour shifts with only a 2 day weekend...now I get a 4 or 5 day weekend every 4 or 5 days of work)

Basicly it will be normail Mon-Fri

So its the same amount of effort required for more money... I'd just keep my mouth shut and take it. Dont wanna screw yourself out of 1.5 hours work just to satisfy the EU (if that is the case)

[robbie]

mine is normal hour wage with a £45 over night bonus perweek on the condition i do 45 hours a week

[Jay.Gti]

£30 extra a week is what i will be getting tbh i earn more than that in overtime every week on days lol

Check your contract.. If you have not signed a clause saying you dont mind working over 48 hours a week then you can refuse to work no more than 48 or work more than 48 but anything over 48 must be paid as overtime.

 

Any security company had an over 48 hour clause.

to be blunt dont like it quit ! there are plenty of people in the job center !!

 

i had a job on nights didn't like the long hours so i simply said to the manager "f*uck yore job im off to bed" !

 

 

hope this helps
