Working Hours

Sleepy
By Sleepy

Hi,

COuld someone please let me know, the standard working hours in the Q-group of companies is 8 hours + a lunch hour (for total of 9 hours) or 8 hours inclusive of a lunch hour? For example, you show up at 6:30 and stay till 2:30 including having taken a one hour lunch break?
I ask because I might be getting an offer, and this is one of the factors that I'd like to include in my evaluation (the total working hours).

Yes, I will get this info in my offer, but I'd like to learn about this ahead of time.
thank you.

we are working from 7:30 to 1:45, sun-thurs...no lunchbreak...but we can eat anytime but not anywhere...

Does Q-group includes ministries and authorities? or purely Oil & Gas Companies?
