What days / hours do you work?

[Rainydays55]

Just wondering what sort of jobs everyone has… what days/hours do you work? How long is your commute? What perks does your job have? What’s your holiday allowance etc?

At the moment no commute, except 1 or 2 times per month when it's 8-5 no outside office weird shift hours if you have to go into workplace.

37.5 hours per week where one weekend day has to be worked for 1 day of during week
Decent lunch break of a whole hour, comparing it to when I did telephone sales you only got half hour.
Not the strictest of places I know when I used to be on a dialler it was log in half hour before you officially started and had to be ready.
It's a bit more relaxed starting the day, but maybe someone might work out of hours to bring their ticket productivity up as much as that might be unfair.

I work local to home, can walk there in 30 mins. I am paid 36 hrs per week with a 1-hour lunch break (that I rarely take, but that's my choice. My team take their lunch breaks).
I work Mon-Fri and get 30 days' leave plus bank holidays.
Perks are:
a DB pension
Very good boss who genuinely looks out for us.

I work 8.15 - 3.45 Mon -Fri
It takes me 25 minutes to walk to work.
Term time only which is a huge plus. Downside is you can't just book a random day off and holidays are always more expensive.
Pay is rubbish
But it's a fabulous job

8:30-5:30 Mon-Fri as a general rule, but sometimes a lot more if I'm busy, I'm self employed. If I take half a day off during the week I work the Saturday morning. 30-45 min lunch and a break off for the afternoon school run.
Perks are that I can come and go as I please, I've not had childcare costs for seven years, my commute is a three minute walk (it used to be thirty seconds to the spare bedroom but I outgrew that but still work near home), I earn more than I would in a regular job, I don't have a pain in the backside boss, just customers 😁. Disadvantages, no sick pay, no holiday pay, no pension, it's bloomin' hard work!

37 hours per week, can work from home or office just need to book a desk if I want to go in and it is a 20 min drive away. Flexi-time so I can work anytime between 6am - 10pm and clock on and off as much as I like. 25 days annual leave and 11 public holidays, which will rise to 30 days + 11 next year. Can also take up to 2 days per month flexi-leave as any time worked over 37 hrs builds up as leave. DB pension. Work in admin for civil service. Moved here for flexibility around family life and it is night and day compared with previous jobs.

I have just had a big change to my work structure.
2 days/week I work in a part time job, well paid and approx 20 mins commute, can work hours around my needs etc - perk - proper home made lunch provided every day.
I also have my own business which I run from home, and again I have the flexibility I need/want.
I do also do some consultancy work which is short term but lucrative.

Generally 8:30-4:30ish Mon-Fri, with one day a week in the office and the rest WFH. 27 days holiday per year.

NHS . I work 12 hour shift patterns, 60 hours a week sometimes if we have critical staff shortages - weekends , Christmas etc. Takes me 35 minutes to get to work. Years of study and training. More than a “job” and something you really want to do. I love it but it’s not for everyone.

I work 7 hours a day 4 days a week. This usually works out at 8-3.30 with half an hour for lunch. Sometimes I work from 7.30-3 as I'm an early riser anyway and I work from home.

Monday to Friday
Wake around 7.00
Get up dressed coffee/breakfast check work emails.
Leave home between 8.10 -08.20
Walk to station - have coffee with neighbour commuting collègue - get metro round 8.45 ish
35 minutes to one hour ten journey depending on metros/RER
Start between 9.30 and 10.15
Break at around 12.15 until 14.00
Work until 19.30-19.45
Leave on Wednesdays at 16.30
Probably do 30 minutes at least per evening at home. And talk shop (+ gossip) on commute with collègue.

30 days of paid off time per year - but taking a Friday off counts as 2 days off.
11 extra days off per year as I work more than 35h a week
About 8-10 bank holidays a year
Often have a couple of hours over the weekend.

France - mid thirties - high five figures salary in euros

Finance in a biotech .

Oh I forgot I get lunch tickets on a sort of salary sacrifice system - I pay 4.50€ a day and get 10 euros per day worked on a food card - can only be used in restaurants, bakeries, bars or to buy food. ( obligatory french benefit - but some people get slightly less per day)

50% of my transport card paid ( obligatory for workers in Paris)

Top up health insurance paid 50% by employer ( obligatory in France - but I have a good one - healthcare is not free at point of access here and without extra insurance/mutuelle you have to pay a top up)

I have life and critical illness insurance with work ( prévoyance - obligatory for certain categories of workers )

I have a decent top up pension - I pay half (also obligatory)

Obligatory (but good) extra jobless insurance for my category of worker - if I stop working ( negotiate resigning or get fired - you can’t just resign) I get about 80% of my take home for up to 3 years.

I don’t cycle to work but those who do get an extra tax free 37.50 a month for bike maintaince and equipment.

I have a work mobile I can use for personal use and I can spend up to 1k a year for équipement to work from home.

I work Tue - Friday 8am - 5pm. Its a 15 min commute. I get 28 days AL, plus bank holidays.

I work Monday - Friday, 9-5pm with an hour for lunch though a lot of colleagues are in India/Europe/USA so it can shift a little either way.

We get unlimited holiday which some say is a bad thing but we’re still required to take our statutory holiday, then just get extra. 5 or 6 “well-being days” throughout the year where the whole company shuts down. Bank holidays as normal.

Lots of great perks like up to 10% matched company pension, healthcare, dental, well-being allowance to spend on personal things etc.

I am at work 8.20am- 4pm sometimes shorter sometimes shorter sometimes longer. I also work at least an hour each evening and 3 hours on a Sunday.

Term time only yes I’m a teacher.

Years ago I worked a rotating shift pattern. At some places this included 7 x 12hr nights in a row!!!

My current role is exclusive WFH. 37.5hrs a week and extremely flexible. No set start-finish time, but generally Mon-Fri 8-8:30 until 4:30-5pm, but could be earlier/later/longer lunch if I want. Its the best job I've had!

Healthcare. I work 9-6 four days per week, plus one late night per week and every other Saturday. Often get called out evenings/ weekends ( maybe once a fortnight). Rarely get a full lunch hour as usually running late!
Pay is reasonable but holidays are tricky as patients need to be seen and getting cover is difficult. So rarely no more than one week at a time!

Mon 9.15am - 4.30pm
Tues 9.00am - 4.30pm
Wed 9.15am - 4.30pm
Thurs 9.00am - 3.00pm
Fri 9.15am - 4.00pm

Commute takes about 30-40 mins. It's meant to be 9-4 but I'm allowed some leeway to drop ds off at college on some days and take him to his piano lesson on Thursdays

In theory I could work when I want as long as I do 36 hours a week, but do need to do some core hours too. Currently work from home but only because of Covid, can't actually do a 100% of my work at home (15 minute commute).

30 days a year AL + Bank Holidays
Good pension
Well paid
Role I love

Free food and drinks

9.30 - 5.30 technically office hours with an hour commute either side, but I work in events so have to work weekends/late nights as well when required, hence quite nice working hours on a day-to-day basis.

Officially 22 days + public holidays, but boss is fairly relaxed about taking more due to the nature of the job.

37 hours a week, flexi time, in the public sector. I usually do 9-5 with a 30 min lunch. Commute has always been 30 min but used to be walk, then driving, and currently WFH so no commute.

Good bits are lots of annual leave, good pension, very supportive employer, opportunities to train and work in different fields. I’ve worked in private sector in the past and I’m very grateful for what I have now, despite the challenges of working in the public sector.

I do 10hr night shifts, 4 on 4 off from home. The job itself is a bit boring, not exactly fulfilling but I love the shift pattern and I don’t think I could ever go back to Mon-Fri office hours. When it’s quiet on shift, I can get some chores out of the way meaning my evenings after I wake up are completely free to enjoy.

24 days holiday a year, doesn’t sound a lot but works out really well as I only need to use 4 days leave to get 12 off (my mum always jokes that I’m either on holiday or a day off when she speaks to me).

Pay/benefits not amazing for the industry but I still earn more than my previous, stressful public sector job, and do a lot less.

I wfh 3 days a week usually start just after 9 on those days after walking dd to school. Work till around 5.30/6
2 days in the office 30min max commute get in for 9.30 leave around 5 30/6

Free private medical ins, 25 days holiday+ bank hols
Free coffee/hot drinks
Free breakfast and lunch every day in office
Busy varied work- senior manager for an insurance company
Basic salary around 45k + bonuses
Nice colleagues, everyone has a good attitude and wants good outcomes so makes change and project delivery easier. I like my job. They are also very flexible eg if I had childcare issues its no worries just do what I can but as aspect of this comes from my position

21 hours WFH across three evenings. Starting between 2-5 and finishing between 10-1am. 35 days holiday FTE plus extra day for birthday, some health insurance and other general perks. The WFH is best bit. I get changed into my jammies towards the end

NHS. I work Weds-Fri, a normal day shift is 7:30-5:30 but I also do occasional long days (7:30-20:00), nights and weekend shifts. Commute is about 1hr 10 minutes each way. I love the job but the commute is killing me - but it's not forever; I'll finish my training post in just over a year and can then apply for a consultant job somewhere a lot closer!

I work 60% of FT hours, so average just over 28/wk (FT is 48). Get 19.2 days AL (FT get 32) plus a proportional share of BHs. Perks - NHS discount in some places, claps, occasional savaging in the Daily Mail?

I’m a teacher so term time only

I’m in school usually 8.00-4.30 (sometimes later if there’s a meeting etc) and do a few hours of work on a Sunday
