4 on 2 off means that after knocking off your 25 days holiday, and the 8 bank holidays, you’ll work about 208 days of the year.Let’s suppose you average 12 hours per shift, then 12x £14.45 is £173.
£173 x 208 days = £36067 per year. You can probably expect at least £33-£34k if they deduct breaks, or you average a bit less than 12 hours. Either way, it’s not bad at all. However, you will only get a handful of weekends off through the year.
Not forgetting those bonuses for each Sat/Sun/Bank Hol worked, ignoring the BH’s, there’s another £35 for all weekend working on top each week, or £15/20 when only one weekend night falls on the rota.
Yes, there’s lots of weekends so it won’t suit everyone, hence probably why the regular adverts for drivers, but for those who suit the shift pattern it isn’t a bad number at all.
