HOURS OF WORK: The General Operative - Shift - Cleansing , Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council, will be required to work as part of a Rota as outlined below Rota / Working hours The rota is based on a continuously revolving week, with the period of time taken to return to the same week being 8 weeks, i.e. if a shift starts on a Thursday it will take 8 weeks before this working week comes around again. The rota will be based on a 4 days worked, 4 days off scenario. Under this proposal the following should be noted. It is intended that anybody on the shift arrangement will not be required to work more than 4 days in a row. Each shift group will work 4 days on and 4 days off. In each 8 week period, there will be an average of 39 hours worked per week In each 8 week period, there will be an average of 3.5 days worked per week The following hours are worked on the following days: ▪ 11 hour day • Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday ▪ 12 hour day • Friday The following are the working hours each day: ▪ 11 hour day • 7am to 6.30pm ▪ 12 hour day • 7am to 7.30pm In each 8 week period, there will be 4 Saturdays and 4 Sundays worked In each 8 week period, there will be 3 full weekends off. If a staff member is unable to attend work, an annual leave day can be used to facilitate this. Swapping between various staff members in the different shift groups will not be allowed. The full rota is shown below with the two separate shift groups highlighted in different colours. The holder of the position may also be required to work outside his/her assigned hours of duty. Any work which the holder of the post is authorised or required to do after completion of a normal day’s work will be paid at the rates as agreed and appropriately sanctioned, or whatever alternative arrangement is applicable. ANNUAL LEAVE: Granting of annual leave, payment for annual leave and arrangements for public holidays will be governed by the provisions of the Organisation of Working Time Act, 1997. Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council’s holiday year runs from 1st January to 31st December. As the arrangement has an average of 3.5 days per week the holiday entitlement will be 17.5 working days per annum which is equivalent to 5 weeks @ 3.5 days per week annual leave Prior authorisation is essential before annual leave is taken. The granting of annual leave at any particular time is always subject to the requirements of the council and all annual leave is liable to suspension during periods of exceptional pressure. The final decision in allocating leave rests with Management. You are expected to avail of your leave allowance during the current leave year, and permission from Management must be given before any portion of the allowance may be carried forward. If when your employment terminates, paid holidays already taken by you exceeds the paid holiday entitlement on the date of termination, Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council will deduct the excess holiday pay from any termination pay. You will be paid for any accrued leave on termination of employment.
