Would you mind sharing an example rota? I understand if you don't want to
Also how is anual leave booked?
Don't have a rota to hand but you will have four weeks of 'rostered' annual leave which are pre-determined dates and follow a rota pattern so you will know your leave dates many years in advance. Although these dates are ostensibly fixed, you are able to move them to weeks that better suit you if there is a vacancy in the calendar, or you can agree with another driver to mutually exchange your weeks of leave if that benefits you both. You also have ten days of 'Ad Hoc' leave which can be taken whenever you like. You will also automatically get Christmas Day and Boxing Day off.
As far as the roster goes you will work a week of AM turns followed by a week of PM turns and so on. Minimum turn length is 5 hours, maximum 10 and your working week will average 35 hours over a set period with some weeks being less and some more. Sundays are currently outside the working week and worked as rostered overtime, not included in the 35 hours. If you don't want to work any Sundays that is also an option currently. You will work an average of 1 in 2 Saturdays.
