    Core Hours ( Shift Work)

    I'm finding a lot of City jobs have a standard core working hours of 9 hours now and they say you will also be required to work on a rotational shifts. e.g 8-5pm or 1-10pm

        Ditto - did it for 3 months. I would say that it took me another 6 months to recover!

        I also did it for 2 years in the mil. but then I had no choice!
        I was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it. I am not an IPSE Member, since they have no longer have any relevance to me, as an IT Contractor. Read my lips...I recommend QDOS for ALL your Insurance requirements (Contact me for a referral code).

                    The forum doesn't allow you to have less than two characters in a post, so you can't just respond "4", so I added a full stop rather than a decimal point. If it was a decimal point, it would have been "4.0".
