G'day mate,
We don't do a 6 day roster with 4 crews.... We do an 8 day roster, 4 on 4 off. Don't know if you need 24 hr coverage but we do 6-6, 2 days 2 nights. It isn't the best but soon we will be going to 4 days 4 off 4 nights 4 off which will be much better, we will essentially get an extra day off before night shift. Cheers, Josh |

was just told that the mill crew might be going to a 5 day week soon, so that will be 3 by 8 hour shifts
bloody ozzie dollar being so high is making imports so much cheaper then producing here

The site I work on has multiple rosters.
2 weeks on 2 weeks off is the preferred, which is 1 week of days and 1 week of nights. Then there is the 1 week on 1 week off dayshift only. 5/2 4/3 which is a rolling Monday to Friday with the weekend and the following Monday off then work Tuesday to Friday and repeat the process. Then we have some contractors on 2 weeks on and 1 week off.

I used to work a 6-6 roster. You have to keep it rotating, i was on night shift for 3 months. My health and mentality started to slip.
Its doable though. Making 1500 a week id do it again. |

We have 4 crews doing 8/6 days and then 7/7 nights, all 6:30 to 6:30. Works well and you get a good overlap at the start and finish of the dayshift panel for handover purposes.

2 days 2 nights, 12hr shifts. 5 crews means 6 day breaks til 1 crew takes annual leave, then 4 day breaks til the crew is back.
Our annual leave staggers forward every year by a set margin, giving each crew back to back leave every 5 years. Eg: my crew was on leave last year during sep-early oct... this year is mid nov- end dec, next years leave is start jan- mid feb...if you follow me. Basically every 5 years- near all summer off

Our Tube Mills here run a 9 day fortnight roster, 5 days of dayshift and then 4 days of afternoon shift. I'm hearing you on the aussie dollar and imports, our production is halved in the last few months.

7 on 7 off, 80hrs per tour. Get a weekly pay helps me pay normal tax.
12 hr shift is all at a flat rate. Its a good rotation, 7 days in a row is great its not long (compared to being out at sea), guys that don't run it need to harden up. 7 days off is better plenty of time to get stuff done and have a few days to kick back.
