Have only worked full time days for two and a half out of the last eighteen years for that very reason

Earlies ... sod that!

Swop for afternoons or nights ... more chance of overtime on these too!

I'd swap you ..... I hate afternoons. You're waiting to go into work, and then traffic at that time of day makes your journey twice as long as it would be at 5 in the morning

We use to call it 'The graveyard shift'.

Oh that was a lovely extra bit of sleep!

Now will they leave the bloody clocks alone?!

My dog forgot to turn her bowels back. Panic stations at half eight.

Bowel problems are a family trait then?

so if you start work on Saturday night at 6pm and finish at 4am do you get paid for 10 hrs or 9 as 4am is now 3 am?

[MR MISTER]

You get paid 10 as you do when the clocks go forward.

Depends entirely on the duck you work for

One firm used to pay 12 hours flat in the autumn, and eleven hours in the spring on the basis that it averaged out we got paid for a forty hour week 7-7 4on, 4off, so actual pay depended on whether it was a four or five week month, the fact that that shift pattern actually averages 42 hours per week notwithstanding . One bloke kicked off so they paid the extra hour, but the following spring they adjusted his roster to ensure he was working, the deducted that extra hour from his wage at overtime rate. Onanists

Another firm I worked at always paid the full 12 hours, 6-6, autumn and spring, with an hours overtime in the autumn. Which was nice. Shame they got totally shafted by Unite more Onanists > (

When contracting and working over the clock change, I used to get paid 12 hours for working 11 hours as the clocks went forward, but got paid 13 as the clocks went back. At Halls cough sweets, production didn't start  till 6 o'clock on Sat evening so we went in a 7 o'clock as the clocks went back so we worked & got paid for 12hrs but also got paid for 12 when the clocks went forwards.
