In the office with contractors they’re in by 8.30/8.45 out by 5.15/5.30 so at least 8 hours with maybe 30 min lunch, quite a few doing 40 hours
In the channel isles it’s 9/9.15 - 4.45/5. God forbid anyone is there after 5.
I tend so sit in between the two for flexibility. I worked until 10 last night and started at 6am this morning finishing at 4 as I have a big presentation on Thursday. Everyone else will only work in core hours. Swings and roundabouts
Generally I start around 8 and finish by 4:30.
Sometimes more, sometimes less, it depends on what I have to do.The Chunt of Chunts.Comment

If you really feel the need to abuse some one else to make yourself feel good, then crack on. Doing my bit for the nluk community.
Posting dumb brain farts over and over is going to illicit the same responses over and over.
Didn't actually mention 1st line this time...
Never trust an agency though. If after 8 months someone at client or agency wants to change from pws with no hours listed to hours listed then I;m a bit wary.
IMO you are totally wrong in this case. Agent has just put 8 in because you mentioned it and it's easier to type in to their forms. Period.
And also the hours you work has no relation to accounting systems. They still have to count numbers for resource planning and budgets. Do you think someone is going to put the time you work in every day? Now that would wind you up. It's a professional working day because you can flex the time regardless what is on the system. The fact you can't even understand these basics questions the whole word professional in any of your posts.Last edited by northernladuk; 6 December 2017, 09:06.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment
