Another offering salary no hourly rates? Be low rates and max hours imo…

Earnings 45k will likely be for 5-6-5-6 tramping, with 2 days off at home per fortnight (other short weekend spent in truck)
…OR an 84 hour week 5-6-5-6 “home every night” bragged…

At the other end of the scale, those firms that used to be the top payers - try to limit your hours bookable with things like the 10 hour limit on night shifts, and 48 hour working week over the reference period, which is fine when you’re doing it on agency, but ■■■■■ pretty quickly when you’re trying to make ends meet towards the end of your reference period, and you’re being stood down all the time, due to “lack of available WTD hours”…

The best possible “Knock Out” job ad then:

“Earnings £45k basic for 4 on 4 off shifts of 12 hours.”
“Night premium available on top for those picking into permanent nights only.”
(That’s a good thing, because it means you’ll be getting the 45k for permanent DAYS!)

Being 4-on-4-off means you’ll be expected to work a lot of weekends, BUT you only need to spend 4 days holiday rather than 5 to take a full week off.

Your holiday is pro rata you will get 4 weeks of 4 days paid holiday
