3/3 offshore

[u25kr]

So who is moving to an equal time rota and who isn't?

We, (Talisman), have been told we are moving to a 3/3 rota from July. I have heard that Taqa, Nexen & BP have came out and stated they are not moving ot equal time. Can anyone confirm this and the reasons why?

[u25kr]

Yes i understand the reasons to go equal time. I meant reasons not to. I heard that BP came out against equal time on health grounds and would like to get confirmation of that.

AS i see it the north sea will suffer from this. If you were working 2/3 and get moved to a 3/3 roata with no pay increase then you are better off moving abroad as pay is more there than in the UK.

For those still interested;

Talisman confiremd going equal time from 1st week in november.

Have heard that Bp have offered their staff the choice of 3/3 with payrise, 3/3 with holidays, or 3/4 3/5 with clawback. Anyone care to confirm this?

Talisman have reiterated that they will be going 3/3. Apparently they were asked about 3/4 3/5 but ruled that out.
I would much prefer the 3/4 3/5 rota, as would the majority of my colleagues, but that is not an option. We will get an additional 28 days pay though.
