How much time off should i get

[anything I don't mind]

I get days in lieu for working weekends.

I had to do a power down this past weekend and want to know what days of in lieu you think it is reasonable.

I worked from 6:30pm to 9:00 pm on friday night and then i came in on sunday from 11-3pm and then i came in early monday morning at 7:20 meant to start at 8am. How much would you ask for?

I would be asking a min of worked hours x1.5 so about 11 hours at worst

2.5 + 4 + .66 = 7.16 hours

Doesn't that barely total a day? I regularly come in 40 mins early so wouldnt even mention that.

If Friday night counts as weekend, 6 and a half hours. I'm sure Monday morning isn't weekend. Exactly how flexi is your time? If you come in 40 minutes early are you actually expected to claim it back?

I don't think I would be claiming time in lieu at time-and-a-half, unless I had an awesome contract! Incidentally, my overtime rate is time-and-a-quarter, regardless of which day of the week / bank holiday / whatever.

Originally the plan was to come in on saturday and get two days off during the week for it, but i thought it would be easier and save a commute if i stay on friday night and power down the servers. But now i have kind of lost a day in lieu over it. Plus i had to wake up extra early to make it monday morning. Well the previous site was very strict over lateness, i don't know if you remember that thread, but if i was at that site i would take the 40 mins early. But i would be happy with just going home 30 mins early today and having a day off i think, sounds reasonable.

Sounds reasonable to me.

if you are in support then many dont get anything. you arent paid by the hour you are paid monthly. thats how they used to do it where i worked before. coming in on weekends for stuff is kind of expected sometimes.

glad i worked in development, we had none of that **** in our contracts
