Work schedule over Xmas and New Year?

[AkydefGoldberg]

The chance for bank holidays and football over Xmas and New Year is my joy out of this festive period but will be getting half day on Xmas Eve and the usual bank holidays. It's worked out nicely as with Boxing Day falling on Saturday, means Monday is a day off so a longer weekend and New Year's Day falls on Friday so a four day week there. Happy days!

How about the rest of you?

I'm finishing on 23rd of December, and I'm basically off until 4th of January. Which isn't a bad run, really. It's about a week and a half. Christmas fell pretty nicely this year.

I do have to work on New Years Eve, but I managed to get remote access so I can work from home that day, and it'll probably be a really slow day too, so I won't mind that at all. Plus now that I have remote access, working from home might become an option for me on occasion in the future too, so I'll benefit from it in the long term.

Sadly Kirbi is going back to work a couple of days earlier than me, so we'll just be spending 5 days in our home town and the rest of the holidays will be spent in our apartment in Dublin.

^The days you do have off, do they come out of your holiday allocation?

[Hanley!]

Because of the way the holidays fell, I only have to use a couple of days of personal leave this year. Which is great, cos I can carry some days into next year. I spent many of my days off this year either in the hospital, recovering from surgery, or planning for a wedding, so I won't mind some extra time off next year.

I finish this Friday coming. I work with schools, so my job is term time only. It's pretty sweet.

^^ Good deal. Do you get paid for holidays though, or are you on a subbing job and only get paid when you're in the school?

I'll probably have to work a couple days between Christmas and New Year's, but most ofm y clients will be really slow at that point, so I won't have a ton to do. Which is nice, because I could really use a break at the moment.

Same for a mate of mine - utterly envious.

Work every goddamn day except for Christmas.

Well since I work Thursday to Monday during a normal work week they i have Tuesday to Saturday off the weeks of Christmas and New years since we are closed during that time

I only get Christmas Day and New Years Day off. It is a blessing that both are on a Friday this year. So at lease I get the extended weekend.
