Working day

[d000hg]

It's not about clock watching but about I'm doing 8 hours and starting early as asked where others are doing 7.5 hours so end up doing about 18 hours more over 3 months so about 2 extra days.

Are you on the exact same rate as the other guys? Obviously in the interest of fairness you must ensure your rate-per-minute is identical. If you find you're doing the odd 5 minutes extra here and there, go have a quick play in the toilet to address this grievous imbalance.

Out of curiosity I just calced my hours per day since the start of the current contract.

8.64hours per day. I would say that most of the perms on site do at least that, and that is allocating an hour for lunch even if its only 20 mins.

Ok I think this has gone off the point I was asking about.

What I wanted to know is on a Friday or the odd other day if need/want to leave at 16.30 and if anyone kicks up a fuss and say I should be there until 17.00 can I say in my contract no hours are stated and I've had no email about hours?

By the way I am working until 17.00 and past some days.

If it's the odd day, not being first out the door every day, I'd say this falls under the "if you're getting the work done" category. If you're on track and happy to face off to them when/if they complain, just do it. If you're arguably not on schedule, it might be better to make it clear you make up the hours.

Whaaaat!?!?!?! That's outrageous. 5pm? Are they in the dark ages?
