2ish hours volunteering. No pay but I love it.

Care assistant, dementia unit, officially 32 hours but I did 56 last week and have been doing 40/50 a week for a while. Shift patterns are 8-4 or 4-10, but increasingly it's 8-10 as we're very short staffed, over 7 days, done some nights too in there, though nights aren't on my shifts rota usually.

I'm struggling to think of perks 🤣 we do get paid breaks, but we don't get paid for handovers and we don't get a full break, away from our work area and need to see to residents if they need us on our break, so that balances out a bit, we get fed on shift if there's enough left, you only have to pay the cost of your DBS back if you leave within 12 months. Have a contract which isn't 0 hours which is unusual in care. Double time Christmas Day and Boxing Day and nyd, no enhancement for other bank holidays or unsocial hours.
Quite good terms for care work.
ATM a day off feels like a perk

4 weeks holiday, pays nmw.

I'm an academic. Technically, I'm meant to work 37.5 hours a week. Some weeks it's more, some weeks it's less. I work roughly 9-4:45 with a bit of work in the evenings some days. I do take breaks during the day to cook, walk the dog, exercise, etc. If I'm in the office (I've always wfh part of the week), it's a longer day, maybe 7-6 ish.

To be honest, I don't actually even know what my AL allowance is. I think it's probably 28 days plus BH. I never use it all up though, even with school holidays and several holidays a year and always carry some over.

Perks are flexibility, my work is very self-managed (no one really cares where I work or when as long as it gets done), and we get closure days at Christmas and Easter, which amounts to usually an extra 3 weeks off paid each year.

Local government. I work 29.6 hours (0.8) over 4 days. Leave is 22.5 days plus 0.8 of bank holidays. Biggest perk is flexi time, can work whatever hours I want between 7am and 7pm and take up to 2 flexi days per 4 week period if I’ve got the time accrued. 6 months full paid and 6 months half paid sick leave. Defined benefit pension scheme (career average no longer final salary). Maternity package is fairly shit, as is the redundancy package and the salary is not as good as it could be. Local government are very much the poor relations of the public sector, but I love my job and it’s still a great place to work.

40 hours a week but more like 50 really.
Rubbish pension, 25 days AL plus bank holidays.
BUT enormous amounts of flexibility that fits perfectly round my family.

37.5 h per week.
flexi scheme that allows up to 2 flexi days every 8 weeks
33 days annual leave + bank holidays.

No perks as such - cycle to work scheme and discounted membership to the local sports centre, but it’s rubbish and has been closed since it was commandeered as a ‘nightingale hospital’.

I feel pretty lucky.

Civil servant. Digital role.
0.8 of 37 hours and 30 days leave.
Career average pension.
WFH flexible hours - as long as I do 30 over the week I can work any hours between 6am and 7pm.

37.5 h per week
42 days leave
Flexi 1.5 days every 4 week period

No perks but very secure job.

Self-employed so no paid holidays but I take six weeks a year.
I work around 25 hours a week.

The perks are being able to set my own hours, being able to do what I love day in, day out and being able to pick and choose which jobs I want to do.

It works well for me. I make good money and currently have a waiting list in place as my services are so desirable

I'm a dog walker and I wouldn't swap it for the world.

36 hours per week ( three 12hr shifts), 6.5 weeks off (based on 12hr shifts), 3 free home cooked and quality meals each day (massively useful IMO), discounted insurance & holiday deals, Feb bonus and retail cards at Christmas - all good 👍

37 1/2 to 50 hours a month, 5 weeks no perks.

40 hours mon-friday, office job, 20 days + Bank Holidays. Job doesn't really have any perks as such but I've had quite a few bonuses over the years. It's not really a career but I enjoy it and it works around my family, there's quite a bit of flexibility if I need it.

Some of these jobs seem amazing.. wd love to know what you do.!

Civil Servant. Work 23hrs a week, 43 weeks a year. 31.5 annual leave days a year, flexible working although to be honest being able to work part time term time is my biggest perk right now

Work 30 hours a week over 4 days
Usually 8-4 but can work anytime between 7-7 on flexitime
30 + 8 bank holidays (pro rata)
Good enhanced maternity pay
6 months sick pay
Really flexible
Up to a week paid dependants leave a year
Ok pension

Not the best salary in the sector (probably 15% below average) but the flexibility with family balances that out

Oh and I work in care.

Five days wfh (may go to 2 days in the office at some point) - I do 7-3

33 days holiday

Test Analyst in private sector (company was Civil Service previously so I have a preserved final salary pension and a current CARE one)

Id love to know what some of these jobs are , some of the perks sound great!
For those of you that wfh or are hybrid working do you count that as a perk now if you used to be office based? Do you find it offers more flexibility?
And those on 20 days annual leave do you find it hard to stretch that over the year?

35 Hours per week flexi time.
32 days annual leave + bank holidays
Above average pension.
Annual pay rise each year, back dated for the previous year.
Lots of room for movement within the organisation.
6 months full pay and 6 months half pay when sick.
Full pay for maternity / paternity leave for 9 months.
