MHB How Much Would I Earn If I Worked 4 Weeks On and 4 Weeks Off?

If I work 4 weeks on and 4 weeks off, how much will I earn? My brother will be earning 1400 every shift, so would my brother earn $1,400 per shift x 5 days per week x 26 weeks per year = $182,000?

\$1,400 per shift x 5 days per week x 26 weeks per year = \$182,000?

Will you be paid the same shift salary as your brother? Does your brother follow the 4 week on/off schedule, also?

\$1400 per shift? Really?

What do you mean by a "shift"? I would normally interpret a "shift" to be a standard 8 hour day but \$1400 seems a bit much for 8 hours! (\$175 an hour!)

If a "shift" is the "four weeks on" then that would be 4(7)(8)= 224 hours. \$1400/224= \$6.25 per hour, a bit more reasonable.

But it is very confusing for you to ask about your earnings but only tell us about your brother's salary!
