Does anyone work a modified 12hr shift? I currently work the 'Southern Swing', where we start on Graveyard for 7 nights, off 2 days, 3-11 for 7 days, off 1 day, and then 7 days of 7-3, and then off 4 days. <br /><br />There has been talk by HR to try to get us on the 'Modified 12' like alot of our other mills. <br /><br />If we were on the proposed shifts, this would be how it is for this month.<br />Off Mon-Wed, 8hr 3-11 Thurs and Fri,12hr nights Sat,Sun,&Mon,off Tues-Thurs,7-3 Fri,12hr days Sat&Sun. Off Mon, 12hr nights Tues &Weds, 11-7 Thurs&Fri.Off Sat&Sun,12hr days Mon-Wed, and 7-3 on Thurs.Off Fri-Wed, and Start 3-11On Thurs. (Start the whole thing over again)<br /><br />The advantage I see is off 2 Weekends a month where we only have one now. Work 16 days in 28 instead of 21 like now. The most hours in a week are 44. The hours in a month are the same, 168.<br /><br />I am willing to try this as I hate 3-11 and this would cut it from 7 days to only 2. I was curious if any of you had any experience/comments on a schedule like this. Thanks!
