How many hours do you work each week?

mikeyboy

as above really...
I am trying to establish what people consider to be an 'average' working week.

liney

Full time hours are 8am - 5pm in my office - 42.5 hours a week.

I'd say that was above average though for office hours, and you will probably find 39 hours a week is more standard.

I work about twenty hours a week. Full time to me equates to whatever pays the bills!

Full time 9-5 hour for lunch so a 35 hour week paid.

I don't do paid work but my dh works 8.30-7.30 in the office then a few more hours when he gets home til bedtime. Has Fri night and Saturday off. Works at home all day Sunday.

I wont work out the actual hours, as it'll depress me. People who think University Lecturers have an easy life, think again!

37.5 hours a week, excluding lunch, but with the advantage of flexi-time.

Start at 8.30 - - 20-30mins lunch -- finish at 5pm. The flexi hours accrued are very useful for early finishes or half or whole day (only one a month allowed) off.

1 flexi day + 4 annual leave days gives more full week holidays too!

I work on average 37.5 hours per week and spend 3 1/2 hours a day travelling to and from work.

Mine is rubbish though as I work 30hrs one week then 45 the next...so by the end of the 45 hour week with all the travelling I'm shattered!

Where I work a full time is 37 hours a week. Working days vary in start and finish times Monday to Friday between 8 am & 8 pm and on Saturday between 8 am & 6 pm. With an hour unpaid for lunch.

At my partners work place full time is 37.5 hours worked Monday to Friday between 9 am & 8 pm again varying start and finish times with a paid half hour lunch break.

I work too many :mad:

On average around 100 plus,:eek: I work for my self and take every money making Opportunity available. Wage wise is a different matter, whatever I can:o

I win I win! No wait - D'oh!

64 hours a week (minimum). Often another 2/3 on top of that, sometimes pushing 70.

The average will vary so much dependant on your career. A teacher could work as little as 30 - 40 hours without planning time, but much more if we include lesson planning etc outside the office.

A close friend is a city hedge fund manager and leaves for work on the 0704 train to return at about 10pm most days.

Quite frankly I'm surprised she's still alive.
