| 1408134 | 2015-09-10 00:17:00 | You work in 8 day cycles, 4 days of 12 hour shifts and then 4 days off. What would be your average hours worked for a normal 7 day week? |

| 1408135 | 2015-09-10 00:24:00 | 42 hours over 7 days = 8.4 hours per day over 5 days. IMOP.:nerd: | Arnie (6624) | ||
| 1408136 | 2015-09-10 00:40:00 | Dunno for sure... but I think 27.4 hours. I need to think a bit more... I had a bad night's sleep. But it's an interesting thought. I reckon we have to multiply the number of hours and divide .... agh shutup Greg and get some coffee first. | Greg (193) | ||
| 1408137 | 2015-09-10 00:56:00 | I tried working it out for a year, so there would be 44.5 8 day cycles a year.... I think Ill go with Greg and just have a coffee. Brain blocked by lack of sleep. | rob_on_guitar (4196) | ||
| 1408138 | 2015-09-10 01:01:00 | for a 28day month... you work 3 lots of 4days, have 3 lots of 4 days off 3shifts x 4days x 12hours =144 hour month 144/4 = 36hours per week (ish) |

| 1408139 | 2015-09-10 01:17:00 | Good ol Wiki..... Four on, four off is a shift plan that is being heavily adopted in the United Kingdom and in some parts of the United States.[citation needed] An employee works for four days, usually in 12-hour shifts (7:00 to 7:00) then has four days off. While this creates a "48-hour week" (42-hour average over the year) with long shifts, it may be preferred because it shrinks the work week down to four days, and then gives the employee four days rest—double the time of a usual weekend. Due to the plan, employees effectively work an eight-day week, and the days they work vary by "week". As with three-shift systems, most employees stay with the same shift rather than cycling through them. | rob_on_guitar (4196) | ||
| 1408140 | 2015-09-10 01:42:00 | But won't IRD want specific hours? So hours say per week should be clocked as well. Since worker may work extra than normal/allocated hours. However for those extra hours, then days may be preferred (by the employer/worker) for allocating holidays owned. | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
| 1408141 | 2015-09-10 02:49:00 | Lol, Wiki got it but the maths isn't that hard. 365 days in a year 52 weeks in a year 365 / 8 day weeks = 45.625 x 12hours x 4 days = 2190 hours a year / 52 weeks = 42.1 hours a week on average. |

| 1408142 | 2015-09-10 02:55:00 | Arnie is correct. Calculate it over a period of 8 weeks which gives 7 complete cycles or 28 days worked. 336 hours in 8 weeks. | user (1404) | ||
| 1408143 | 2015-09-10 03:20:00 | Lol, Wiki got it but the maths isn't that hard. 365 days in a year 52 weeks in a year 365 / 8 day weeks = 45.625 x 12hours x 4 days = 2190 hours a year / 52 weeks = 42.1 hours a week on average. Dugi gets the chocolate fish. |
