'Standard' working week

[fileeth]

I think this may be the right forum to address this question - if not could the mods please move to where they fell it may be appropriate.

Question;
Is it laid down any where in a publication what the expected lenght of a working week (i.e. hours required) that a sevcieman in the Air Force is required/expected to do?.
I appreciate that rules under 'operations' throw this out of the window but any pointers or help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance

There is no standard working week but manning establishments are based on the 'airman's working week' which (stand to be corrected) is a smidge over 37 hrs. The fact that the majority work well in excess of this is apparently irrelevant.DT_Xtremez_09:

I seem to remember the target is 42hrs per week (including lunch) but very few achieve that.

You should find all you need here, and in the subsequent annexes. I only found it cos I got involved in a pointless study many moons ago.

Being on a small section, employing a lot of civives, prehaps is the reason why??? Or are you popular with your boss...

I skipped it for 6 mate. Courtesy of a not often upheld rule. Do ceremonial duties, don't do guard.
