cha ching!

that some serious hours :eek:

my law is just heresay at the moment. but every minesite I have been at had this rule in place and have been told by numerous people from lots of different sites the same thing. do you do 28 straight dayshifts? or is there a shiftchange in the middle, because 24hrs off for a shiftchange is technically a day off.

Yeah, all day shifts. 6am-6pm for 28days straight. No night shifts.

K-Band.
Wankers that put up for sale ads and never have their phone on.
People who are late.

[QUOTE=phizzle]That's illegal isn't it? You need at least 24hrs between changes in shift?[/QUOTE]

My brothers company.... Don't mind helping out where needed. :)

sweeett.

how much are they actually paying? guys at work were talking about it and thinking of applying for it.

Yep, that'll be the one. I started as a surveyor on pipelines a few years back, now I'm in an office doing QA and GIS (geographic info - drawing, drafting, facebooking etc...)

The rates are ok, concidering it's so local (and not offshore) but I'm a subby, so cant really comment on what direct employee's are on.

Drop into the QA office some time, and say g'day.
