sanddancer45 asked:

i have worked for local authority last 7 years but am based in a NHS crisis team. My shift pattern which was agreed at interview consists of 5 shifts of 8 1/2 hours duration followed by 3 days off. In 8 weeks I work approx 298 hours. The nurse practitioners were moved to hourly holiday entitlement 2 years ago but social services agreed we could continue to take our holidays in days. Social services have now told us we must move over over to an hourly holiday entitlement as we work an 8 1/2 hour day. I feel the matter is further complicated as they have just given me a standard contact stating I work 37 hour week with 35 days holiday which does not reflect my current shift pattern. Is this construed as a change to contact and does a verbal agreement which has stood for 7 years have any weight.

Smudgeward asked:

12 hour shifts, 6 days straight, 3 days off, v. good money, has anyone gone from normal hours to this shift pattern who could give me a better idea of some the advantages/disadvantages?
How many hours total over the year for both? What does the equation used to figure this out look like? The 8 to 5 is Mon to Fri w. normal holidays but much less money.

i work an alternating shift pattern of 4 days a week followed by 5 days a week.
my boss has now decided that if i take the 4 day week as a holiday, i will lose 5 days holiday entitlement!I am paid on a basis of a minumum of 40 hrs a week but i easily do that on the 4 day week and lots more on the 5. i regularly do the most hours of all the employees.
can he do that?
