    My DH works at a refinery and does 2 days followed by 2 nights, then has 5 days off but the first day he spends sleeping of course.

    The hours are meant to be 7am/pm - 7pm/am but he leaves at 6 and gets home anywhere between 7:30 and 9.

    He works weekends and public holidays whenever his rotating shift falls on them. He also works regular overtime as that's part of their contract.

    He gets about 5 weeks annual leave per year

    he runs a restaurant. service hours are 11.30-2.30 and 5.30-8.30 but hes normally in at 9.30 till about 8.30. with a few chances to pop home in the day as hes the boss. but really he never stops working. he had his first day off last week since august 23rd last year, by that i mean, it was an entire 24 hour period where he didnt set for in the kitchen/restaurant. whatever bank holidays/christmas etc etc people have off, they are his busiest days. he worked 12 hours a day...every day for 6 weeks over christmas.

    but we are grateful!!
