Your full time hour amounts

[rhan101277]

How many folks work 120 hours every two weeks?

One 24 on, then 48 off?

 

[exodus]

I work 12's alternating Wed Th-Sat 1800-0600

A search will show many discussions about EMS shifts.

 

[EMT-G36C]

3 13 hour shifts a week.

Usually a little longer though.

 

[Ridryder911]

Our staff schedule is a modified Kelly shift. One 24 hour on and one off for a tour of three then 4 days off (10 days a month).

Three 12hr shifts a week + one Saturday a month. Anything over 40 hrs is OT. All special events or standby's are as an independant contractor @$36 per hour for Paramedics, $27 per hour for EMT's.

4 11.5s a week, total scheduled 46 hours per week. I've not yet had a check that was less than 100 hours (2 weeks) unless I took a day off.

48 hours on, 4 days off.... tough gig at the high volume station

24/48's here. After getting used to the schedule, I love it!

Same as Rid, XOXOXOOOO. Back at CCEMS they had both a 24/48 no kelly's, and 12's as XXXOOXXOOO.

A 24/48 averages at 56 hrs/wk on a yearly basis.

A busy third service agency has no business having their employees working in excess of 16 hours/day. It's dangerous.

I feel sorry for those who are getting jacked by agencies that are paid on call only during the evening hours of a 24. Any time that you're required to alter your lifestyle for work puproses, such as being on call at home, or POC, ought to be compensated at some level, either as a stipend, or an increase in hourly wage. That time that you must be available could be spent working another job, after all.

re

regular schedule is 72 on, 96 off.

 

[TransportJockey]

All the private services locally run 3 or 4 twelves a week

 

[redcrossemt]

I work 120 every two weeks.

I work two 24s and a 12 each week, for 60 hours weekly.

The only thing I can kinda complain about is that my partners change in the middle of my 24, so I work with four different people. I liked working with a regular partner, but also value the things I'm learning from working with multiple partners.

regular schedule is 72 on, 96 off.

Wow, that's as bad as a DoD FF schedule of 48/72! I hope you're making well in excess of 100k/yr, as you're spending more than 42% of time at work.
