What are your working hours?

I've been doing about 7AM-7PM Monday through Friday, sometimes later (until 10 pm counting working at home after I leave the office). Juggling about 2 1/2 jobs at once in the same office for the past three months...I'm really praying that the interviews to find a replacement for my prior position go well today and we get some damn help in this office!

It says in my contract we're guaranteed a 37.5 hour working week at the NHS, and it's been more like 73.5 hours a week.

Maybe whoever wrote the job description made a typo?

No I'd hate fixed office hours! to much like rigamortis!

Now training is complete I'm doing 40 hours per week between 9am - 8pm with 1 Saturday per month rota'd I think, hope...!!! quite good as I live in one end of Essex (the farmyard of essex) and drive to the other end much more hussle and bussle of South Essex daily so honing my skills driving now as much as my career! so it is probably a good thing I don't work office hours as like to think I avoid rush hour best I can and so on, so I think it actually works for me, oooh like living a double life! living and working in two towns so different

I used to do school hours (basically finishing at 2.30 pm) over five days, but now I work 'normal' hours over four days instead. Well, that's the theory ... DH in theory does a 40 hour week, working from home on Thursdays, but actually a lot of evenings and some weekend stuff. Tedious ...

I'm retired now thank goodness but I used to do 9am-8pm Mon-Fri and of course worked through lunch with sandwich at desk.
I was often travelling so then it was all work for a week or two at a time except when sleeping.

I was happy with those hours as when I was younger I used to have one job 9am-6pm Mon-Fri with one day all night no sleep. Then a second job 4am-7pm Sat-Sun.

I'm now reaping the rewards of all my hard work.:)

My core hours aren't specified. On a rare basic day I'd do something like 9.00 - 5.30, but I usually work 8.00 - 7.00, sometimes longer, and the odd weekend when we have a project on. It all depends what the global markets are doing.

9-5:30. I will give 10 mins here of there to get my work done. I will do the odd Saturday or late night if big deadline, but far from often enough to be off putting. Over time is paid, and this rule is heavily enforced by management.

I run my own business with no fixed hours. Currently I work from 10am Monday morning through to very late Friday night. At the weekends I'm starting another business. Fingers crossed.

I work 9am-5pm Monday-Friday with an hour lunch break. No overtime.
I spend a fair bit of my days commuting though.

I used to work, (plus a till operator/kitchen porter), in a small satellite kitchen feeding helicopter pilots, ground crew, etc on a military base. Shift timings were 10.15-20.30 Monday to Thursday, with 2 hours off in the afternoon, (between 14.30-16.30 so a split shift), Friday was 10.15-14.30 finish.
The late finish Mon- Thur was to cover "night flying", if night flying was cancelled due to bad weather we could finish early and still get paid our full hours but there was an agreement that if night flying was put on Friday evening, (extremely rare !), then we had to cover the extra shift, (we still got paid the extra as overtime). I have just taken redundancy from that job due to the company cutting 5 hours from everybody's contracts but expecting the same amount of work.
I am now looking for a new job but at my age now, (48), I don't really mind what hours I work so long as it brings home the bacon.....
