In work tomorrow 10am finish 10am Christmas day

Normal rate of pay just get the day off another time. Better than last year did a double over Christmas eve day and Christmas day home by 11 boxing day.. Good job but social hours suck..

Finish when ever the boss decides to let us go home today then I'm off until 2nd January

It's nice as often my dad would have to work over Christmas but everyone is off

Fell for those of you working, especially those with young families

Half day today

though the main office is open over christmas. I'm being contracted out so get the holiday benefits of the company I'm based at if I want them.

Thankfully only working Christmas Eve until 17:00.

I'd quite happily work Christmas day though if they were paying me even a fraction of what some people seem to be getting paid in this thread.

We run on a skeleton staff as it is so Christmas is actually kinda quiet for us!

As usual West (as I say it every year) people like yourself are credit to the NHS, hope you have quite shift if that is a good thing ? Or is a busy one better so the time goes quicker?

Either way have a good christmas

Thank you kind sir. It is possible.. to be honest I don't expect it to be that busy. It isn't too bad starting at 3pm either.. I still get to spend the morning with my family and the guy im on with the next couple of days is always a good laugh so we'll keep each other entertained.

Working 8am- 9pm tomorrow. But I'm off boxing day at least.

bledd · 24 Dec 2013 at 17:31

I am.

First time I've ever worked between the 20th Dec and the 6th Jan :/

Andrew_McP · 24 Dec 2013 at 17:33

Just about to go in for 8 hours so folk can buy baked beans on Boxing Day. #public_service

Miguél · 24 Dec 2013 at 17:39

I finished last Friday and off until 2nd. Only day I am doing is Xmas day which was voluntary for the money. No kids etc.. So couldn't turn down the money. I finish at 18:00.

trickycurve · 24 Dec 2013 at 18:06

I work in a school and, although I'm full-time (IT) so don't get all the holidays and half-terms off, it is closed over Christmas. I finished at 12pm today and don't go back in until the 2nd Jan, which is also when all other staff return as those two days finishing the week off are INSET days. Term starts on the 6th.

Get Christmas day, boxing day and new years day off. Have to work the rest, single rate.. while half the company get to be 'on call' at home, paid.

Jumper118 · 24 Dec 2013 at 18:10

coolsurfer · 24 Dec 2013 at 18:15

I am till 11pm in a pharmacy but get next two days off so happy

spookywillow · 24 Dec 2013 at 18:37

In till 10pm most likely and back in boxing day like nothing happened.

pepp77 · 24 Dec 2013 at 18:48

Off from last Friday and theoretically not in again until New Years Eve.

Gackt · 24 Dec 2013 at 19:24

26th, 27th and 28th. Double time on Boxing Day, and altered shifts on the following two days in order to take down the Christmas decorations and Christmas grotto. Then 11 days off, and back working nights to take down the high-up decs and some other nonsen with the MEWP at normal working rate. Yay.
