1 year = 2,288 hours of official working duration 1 year = 52 weeks 1 month = 4.33 weeks or an average of 30 days 1 week = 44 hours of offical working duration 1 week = 5.5 days of official working duration

44 hours 5.5 days = 8 hours/ day For shift workers, official working duration is 12 hours a shift. (which may inclusive of offshore travels) To appreciate offshore workers, company decided to provide off-shore allowance a few years ago. MORNING SHIFT TIMING: 0730HRS - 1930HRS STARTED AND ENDED ON THE SAME DAY ITSELF NIGHT SHIFT TIMING: 1930HRS - 0730HRS STARTED IN THE EVENING OF THE DAY CARRIES FORWARD TO END THE NEXT DAY MORNING Generally, shift workers: work 12 hours duration in a day work 15 days a month or 180 hours a month working day will falls on weekdays and weekend having off day or rest day will falls on weekdays and weekend night shift working hours will continue to the next day take a break at own time discretion flexibility during working intervals. mandate to attend course and training during normal working day, OFF and REST day (overtime or given off from work may or may not apply depending on conditions) attend meeting scheduled may falls on during normal working day, OFF and REST day (overtime or given off from work may or may not apply depending on conditions) still work on main public holiday except otherwise the public holiday falls on their OFF and REST day (one day extra holiday pay will be given irregardless) The most tiring shift are the ending of FIRST WEEK and starting of SECOND WEEK. Imagine after Friday night crossed over to Saturday morning. And having sleepless Saturday and still come back on Sunday to work. Consideration have been taken to interchange THIRD WEEK 2nd REST day to be replace with the Sunday morning of FIRST WEEK but synchronization doesn't match for four teams rotation. The most longest week of rest are the end of FOURTH WEEK and starting of FOURTH AND QUARTER WEEK or starting of FIRST WEEK (and usually this is the day where by at time training and courses are already in place especially weekdays and Saturday) Below is an example of typical 12 hours shift routine for the whole year 2012
