[Misc] Clocks going backwards this weekend..

[Quinney]

I'm on nights tomorrow. We'll get paid the extra hour, and they don't expect us to make it up when the reverse happens in spring.

.

I'm on a 12 hour A&E shift tomorrow night, which then becomes 13 hours, throw in the usual 30 minute / 1 hour over run and I'll be looking at a 14 hour plus shift. We get paid for our overruns but not the extra hour. Just to compound it it's an early kick off Sunday so I'll have about 3 hours sleep. I might have to turn to beer on Sunday to get me through it.

They really need to stop this nonsense.

How would early leavers cope if the clocks went back at KO time?

The opportunity for pure chaos for a TV game.

All the players and officials are ready to start, but TV still showing adverts and the TV guy on the halfway line hasn't given the ok to start the game. The clock ticks over for the published start time, so the clocks get put back an hour, all the players and officials go off to restart in an hours time.

More importantly how would Southern Rail cope with this time change

Yay!! My favourite weekend of the year!

I bet you're looking forward to when Brexit happens and the clocks go back decades.

I would've been working Saturday night, but I'm on holiday.
I'm a paid a shift allowance and a London waiting allowance, that covers the instances like the clocks going back and forth.

Yeah, I felt the same when they moved kick off!

I'm looking about two & a half hours sleep as I've booked the Seagulls Travel coach owing to the utter cluster**** that is Southern Rail on Sunday.

Cheers, Sky

Whoopee,an extra hour in bed.Oh,wait,I get that every day now I'm retired.

 

[btnbelle]

I wasn't working that shift when they went forward so got no benefit.

Then you should definitely get paid extra or go home early.

I asked my brother, who works at LHR for BA the same question at the Everton game and he said they dont get paid for the extra hour or lose pay for when they go forward, apparently it is just accepted that they do it and its swings and roundabout.

Never mind you penny-pinching extra hour merchants - every leap year we have a debate at work around working Feb 29th for free ....

 

[Ralphingtonpuss]

12 hours shift tomorrow night plus an extra hour gratis for the good old NHS.

Are you trying to reduce the Amex ale queues ?


1:30 GMT, which is 2:30 British Summer Time.



All it means is 10 am in the pub for pre match beer and bacon sandwiches is a little easier
