What hours do you work? Annual leave allowance? Job perks?

[Rainydays55]

Just being nosey tbh! In your current job what hours do you work? What’s your annual leave allowance? Main perks of the job?

37 hours a week on contract, I usually work 45-50.

28 days leave plus BH.

Average pension scheme.

Forgot pension
10% employer contributions
I pay 10% also

Free tea/coffee. Heavily subsidised canteen. 35 per year for the gym.

Contracted to 35 hours a week. First quarter easily 50-60 hours a week, summer hours around 20-25 then it ramps up again around November.
35 days hols plus bank Holidays.
Private medical and dental but only the basic level. Can salary sacrifice to higher levels.
Main perk is a genuinely progressive and supportive environment.

However.... they pay around 15% less than competitors. For me it's worth it, but obviously depends on priorities.

Consultant Surgeon

8-530pm every weekday (48hours)
Plus
1:8 12 hour nights some sleep sometimes but not lately
Plus 1:6 weekends 12 hour days or nights
So a range of minimum of 48 hours to a max of 84 hours every 6th week.

Good leave though 8 weeks plus Bank Holidays

Admin for Education, 9 til 3 all school holidays off and an additional 5 days leave on top of that. Great hols = crap pay!

My hours can vary and I have some flexibility but generally I work 9:30 - 6

We've also had one-off things such as an allowance to buy what we need to work from home. I also have a great work-life balance which I really appreciate.

37 hrs
Random shift pattern but often have 3 days in the week off. On our weekend off ( every other week( our manager tries to give us a long weekend off, i:e have the Friday and Monday as rest days, often with an early finish on the Thursday.
Average salary but enhanced with quite a few extra payments.
35 days annual leave plus bank holidays.
I work for a county council so no bonuses or anything like that but heavily discounted gym membership, well being hours, access to mindful seminars, etc. Wellbeing seems to be every council's mantra at the moment!

Tuesday to Friday 8.30 - 4 = 30 hours. Mondays off. I negotiated hard and got it for a full time salary. Was well pleased.

30 days AL plus an extra day at Christmas and bank holidays
Can buy more AL

My last job before retiring: 35 hour week although I almost always worked more, flexi time, wfh allowed and at times mandatory (I hated it). No bonuses, no perks, gifts were absolutely banned, if someone did give you something you had to report it. No Christmas party paid for and no extra time off for one either.

32 hours a week over 4 days
Career average defined benefit pension

Once turned down a job as it only had 24 days a year holiday. I was shocked how bad that was and now I see some are on even less!

Dunno. My contracted hours are 37 a week. Some weeks I work about 10 hours and some I work 50.
Holidays are 7 weeks including Bank Holidays and a 2 week shut over Xmas.
Perks - I get a travel allowance but work from home 95% of the time, car allowance, salary sacrifice, decent pension, flexible hours, private medical, free gym, can buy more holiday, lots of social things if you want them etc.

I work 28 hours a week, so 4x 7 hour days. I normally work 8-3 but sometimes 9-4 depending on kids pick ups etc. mostly from home. Pension is okay but not amazing, I get 22 days holiday which is pro rata from full time. Also get paid for office closure from before Xmas to the New Year's Day.

24 hours a week, 25 days holiday. Perk is 100% flexible apart from one evening meeting a month (always on the same day) and can take children to work with me (part of job is checking country parks and play parks).

18 hours a week (about 9-1.30 daily, school hours basically across 4 days). My salary is pro rated over a 42 week year so I get all school holidays/half terms off. 30 days holiday pro rated to my hours. Health insurance and 5% pension contribution. It's a niche arrangement as I was lucky to go and work for an old boss of mine!

25 days annual leave, but generally can only take 15 days
Minimal pension, which I top up
High salary

Teacher with a management responsibility.

£43k. 5 days. In work for 8am, leaving somewhere between 4.30 and 5 (apart from parents' eve/events and whether I'm writing reports etc or if I'm on a residential with the kids). I work in a school with a realistic view on work life balance - mostly.

Biggest perks are obv the holidays, which were a godsend when the dc were little. And a box of chocs from the headteacher!

Decent pension - mix of final salary pension with a lump sum and career average pension without one, due to when I started my job and when they changed the scheme.

NHS here - officially 37.5hrs per week, but in reality it’s more. ‘Perks’ are 33 days A/L and 8 PH, plus various other leave such as parental and carers leave, a good pension, a strong union, job security, policies which protect us, and so on. Perks are in inverted commas because I think these should be standard terms of employment.
