Right this has got me stumped,

A fella at my work is in the process of having his contract changed, I may add against his wishes.

they are saying he works on average 42 hours a week,

but this is the bit I cant figure out, he works 4 days on 4 days off 12 hour shifts, I cant see how the 42 hours is worked out, indecently this is what they surprise surprise are basing his holidays on.

i thought 4*12*4= 192 hours for the month.. then times by 12 = 2304 for the total yearly. divide that by 52 is 44.3

the only way i can see them getting 42 is by 168 * 12 =2016 then dividing by 48, but that would base his working week on a 14 day on 14 days off and not 4 days on 4 off

sorry im totally confused

any maths person care to explain it to me, im sure they are trying it on.
