I'm on a four man team that provides 24/7 coverage for the police. I work an 8 day rotating shift pattern of 4 on / 4 off 12hr days. Our shifts haven't been adjusted for Christmas and that's just how mine have landed.
I'll get paid double time for any of the Bank Holidays (25th and 1st) but other than that it's just "tough shit handsome, you're it". At least the fact that my job is an 'on demand' position means I'll probably be able to just sit around doing fuck all.
