As few as possible, I prefer my leisure time

*edit*

And yes I do work (Self employed & part-time employed) and don't claim unemployment benefits before the howls of gerrajob come in

EWTD dictates that I can only work 48 hours a week. This is averaged over a month. I worked 85 hours last week, go me! I wouldn't mind working more, but they're legally not allowed to pay us for more than 48 hours.

On average I suppose I work 8-6 5 days a week, but will have an on call shift of 13 hours or a weekend thrown in.

5 days a week (but occaisionally do some work from home at the weekends - I try to avoid it if possible). Unfortunately as I'm regionally based I have to travel a fair bit, so including travel time it's close to 50-60hrs a week. I'm generally out of the house by 7-730, and back around 1730-1830 on average.

Oooh, that switch must suck. I do 4 nights, 4 off, 4 days, 4 off, so on.

MeatLoaf · 13 Jun 2011 at 12:14

Contracted to 32 hours but usually more like 40

I think I'm supposed to do 36 hours per week not counting travelling or anything like that but I'll normally end up working a bit more than that depending on where I'm placed and what is going on in the business. I am currently on flexitime though so I should be able to take the time off during a less busy period.

Not really, it depends if anything's on. It's basically like 2 days on, 6 days off (with two of those days being eveningless).

42, but it's shift work, 4 on 4 off.

Is that really 42 hours in a 7 day period ? I though t it was slightly less ?

Conscript · 13 Jun 2011 at 12:20

42.5 a week, 0800-1730 every day.

Mucky_Pup · 13 Jun 2011 at 12:21

37, if I do all the overtime though it can go up to 64.

Toxic Babyface · 13 Jun 2011 at 12:22

Wow! I thought I did a lot of hours but some of you are doing some mad hours.

I do 60hrs a week. Couple of years back I was doing just over 80hrs evey week but had to stop as it just got stupid. I was on £6 per hour doing that but am on £7 per hour.
Should not complain too much I guess, as it is work. a lot of people can't get a job at all at the moment.

I work 48 in 4 days, but over the month it averages at 39 hours a week or something like that

mysticsniper · 13 Jun 2011 at 12:27

Week one 48 hours 4x12hr shifts
Week two 36 hours 3x12hr shifts

Uhtred · 13 Jun 2011 at 12:31

My old job was 41.5 hours a week
new job is 37 hours a week but two hours travel each day instead of 45 mins

Yeah, it averages out slightly less as some weeks are 31.5.

48 hr a week of hard labor with minimum pay! No wonder the output is slightly above zero!!

LordSplodge · 13 Jun 2011 at 12:35

As little as possible (say 36) unless I want a flexi-day and then I work some extra hours by coming in early for coffee. Er, I mean check the Server Farm.
