3 on, 3 off = working every other day or on average 3.5 days a week.
3.5 x 12 = 42 so it looks like your contract has your summer hours on it.But a banker, engaged at enormous expense,Had the whole of their cash in his care.

With 3 on 3 off you're doing 182 shifts a year (365 days/2) 42% (5 of 12 months) are 12 hours long 58% (7 of 12 months) are 9 hours long
so 182 x 42% = 76.44 x 12 hours = 917.48 hours
then 182 x 58% = 105.56 x 9 hours = 950.04 hours
1867.5 hours total a year so you're losing 316hours a year so if you're paid hourly then that's a lot of money. If you're paid a salary then I would keep quiet and never mention it again!Don't trust a forum for advice. Get proper paid advice. Any advice given should always be checked0 -
