Sure I heard on the radio this morning as I was waking up that last year 300,000 new jobs were created but only 3% of them were full time 😯

So, in true STW stylee a poll: How many hours do you work are you employed to work in a week? If you’re self-employed, base it on your total hours.

A/ I’m a student / in full-time education
B/ Part Time [32 hours or less]
C/ Full Time [>32 hours]
D/ I’m retired
E/ I’m unemployed

Not that it’s any of my business like; just wondered 8)

B – i work around 25 hours a week

Oh. Me = C

C – about 60hrs at the mo! 😯

, but complicated because I spent this week on standby but didn’t actually do any work. If you count standby time, then [C].

c – 55-60hrs

B (27 hours/3 days)

+ A (studying part-time)

Teacher – C – >32 hrs per week

I’m a part time student, part time self-unemployed winding up the dregs a failed business. So A/B.

C – 37 hours plus anything between 5 & 9 hours of overtime at the moment.

Plus a few more on “other projects” 8)

with or without time spent on STW?

> 32 hrs FT WTF

On my quiet weeks I do at least 35. During my busy times >60.

C: 37.5 hours, but probably on work half of that.

C – 37 Hours.

At the moment…..averaging around 25 – 30 hours.

Self employed.

C: 60 plus some nights/weekends on duty rota

C: Contract work, last 10 months have been around 84 hours a week, but that’s for 3 months at a time, then a month off.

C: Contract work, last 10 months have been around 84 hours a week, but that’s for 3 months at a time, then a month off.

Self employed. A bit B and bit D.

Around 12-20 hrs a week depending on projects.

C – work approx 42 hours but then spend an additional 13 hours travelling.

I need to get in your racket Stoner.. get the feeling I do a pretty similar thing to you but for one group of companies.

C – 39 chargable hours on timesheet + lunch, tea breaks, commuting and unpaid overtime.

It can be anywhere from 12-60.

I average around 36 hours per week though. I’m only working 12 hours next week and am dreading it, nothing worse than having too much time to kill.

C – pretty slack these days – never more than 50 hours.

In the bad old days it could regularly be 100+ hours.

C – contracted to 37 hours, written into my contract that I will receive no overtime payments, so I don’t do any.

SY – pm me if you like.

BH8er – too much time to kill? no such thing. Build a shed or something !

C – probably 40ish. I’m an academic who’s settling into the mid-career comfy chair. Early career setting up my group it was up to twice that, so feels like a bit of a doss at the mo.

C, about 40 hours, but paid for 30!

C – 37.5 hours contracted, usually about 42 hours worked though + occasional overtime (also on-call 24×7 one week per month). Probably part-time if you subtract forum time though…

C: Contract work, last 10 months have been around 84 hours a week, but that’s for 3 months at a time, then a month off.

C – Get paid for 36hrs, but my contract states a minimum of 36hrs per week, on average i work 50hrs but get paid only for 36hrs.

The store i work in we only have Managers/Team Leaders and Bakers full-time the rest of the store is all part time, not good!

Triple post for the win!

Stoner – cheers – expect a mail this evening! 😀

Freelance, so it varies between less than 5 and greater than 100. As a rule I try and draw the line at around 45 hours per week.

So far we’ve got (approximately) 1 part=time student, 5 part-time workers, & 19 full-time workers [plus tree-magnet who seems to be holding down half a dozen roles 😆 ] so we’re not far off the National average of 25% part-time jobs

Freelance sort of. Around 25 hrs a week average

B/ 20 hours a week – can be a lot more for a while then a lot less though

I was doing 30 hours a week but had to reduce it due to bastard ME/CFS/PVFS or whatever the **** it is. I don’t earn much at all but it’s quite nice to have plenty of time to do your own thing.

37, pressure to do more, but sod them

C – 37.5 hours per week
