Pay & Paid time off
Vacation and overtime was recently restructured, and the restructure had a direct correlation to recouping costs Amcor incurred due to the Bemis buyout. The restructure involved reducing hours eligible for overtime. Sunday hours are paid at a premium (which the rate was also reduced ) and makes the hours ineligible for OT. On a week that you work Sunday you will only have "24 eligible OT hours" so even if you do pick up a day of OT that week, you are only paid at your normal rate, and not 1.5 time.
Vacation days took a hit as well. Max vacation days use to be 28 days a year, and it has been reduced down to 21 days maximum. Employees in the 2yr-7yr use to get 13 days off a year, the new policy only allows for 7days.
Work Schedule
Your work schedule will be something like work 2, have off 2, work 3, have off 2, work 2, have off 3. You will be led to believe that you "only work half the year" the reality is that you rotate from nights to days frequently... so as an example, you will work Thurs and have off Fri, Sat, Sun. However what really happens is you work Thurs, into Fri morning, sleep most your Friday away since you're tired working a 12+hr night, stay up late into Sat because you cant sleep and you're trying to correct your sleep cycle, wake up early Sunday afternoon and putting yourself in the mindset of "I have to go to bed early today" because If you fall asleep by 7:00pm and need to wake up for work at 2:30am to leave for work by 3:30am when you switch to days then you can get 7hrs of sleep.
That was your "time off" just trying to acclimate back into standard time. This happens every two weeks.
