    Anyone have any information on how the shifts are organised in Netwatch ?. They are advertising for staff to work the night shift.
    Thanks

    Be careful. You get very little if no breaks and are stuck in a room til shifts end. Wouldn't want to have a small bladder/ IBS. Neighbour works with them.

    I'm not too well up on employment regulations but if as you say little/no breaks legal?

    I'd say they give you just enough to stay within legal limits. I wouldn't fancy it. What if you've only 10 mins here or there to do all your stuff,then are caught short in between.you're then fecked cos u can't leave your station. I'd be asking lots of questions in interview first

    Worked for them a while back. 12 hours shifts, 4 on / 4 off. You get one 15 min break and one 30 min break per 12 hours of work.
    Wages are poor and they hire on job bridge from what I know. High paced, high stress working environment with little reward or consideration.
