Yes, the annual leave allowance isn't particularly generous but at least most 12 hour rosters are built with a long weekend (6 or 7 rest days in a row) every few weeks, so you can have a trip away without using any leave. Working three days a week is like having a part time job anyway.Thanks mate. I worked that out after my initial post. I currently get 33 days AL on a 5 on 3 off rota, so 5 days gets me 11 days off, which is very nice. I also get to use them all whenever I want (cover pending of course) but we have a spreadsheet to check against who is off and that way we can see if we will be granted or not before even asking. Going back to block weeks does put me off slightly, but I do really want this job! So it will not deter me. You get good days off due to the 12hr shifts, so that makes up for it I guess.
