    For what purpose are you trying to work it out? Some regulations have specific mechanisms.

    Outside of regulations you work 4 a week so an average of 17 1/3 a month
  • OK  thanks so 18 shifts a month would be correct.

    No it will be an average of 17 & 1/3 shifts per month.
    So it will vary each month.  Could range from 16 to 19 I think.
  • You are right it verys.

    The 17 and 1/3 shifts a month is average but your holidays are also included in that time.

    As a minimum you would be entitled to statutory annual paid leave of 22.4 shifts or 268.8 hours (which could well be increased to 269 hours).
