Lord Geordie Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) Now I know I wanted extra hours, and an extended contract n all that! But I have literally had one day off in the past 12 days and am knackered shift patterns are all over the place! Split shifts, early shifts late shifts Got a call today can I work Tuesday (day off) and start earlier tomorrow? Don't know what the hell is going on? Seems like nobody can organize a rota that works! Still I have a hol coming up in August, so the extra income will be good May be getting some good news on Friday fingers crossed Will keep you appraised of the goings on when I know for sure Edited July 22, 2016 by Lord Geordie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 This coming August, I've got 8 x 13 hour shifts (nights) to do over 9 days. Total mess up with staff rota, and I'm trying to get it changed. I've got the rules on my side though, as I should get at least 2 days off after completing 4 shifts.
