About £115-120k including all allowances plus about £14k into pension.
leave is about 30 day’s worth of actual work. Its the legal minimum plus bank holidays. I say roughly as leave is in 6x 7 day blocks but the credit is worked out based on monthly average days, not days at work. So the idea is that you get no more extra days off than an office worker. It means for each week of leave you get 10 days off in a block roughly (1-4 wrap days off are added depending on the leave type).
So in total on leave you get about 60 days “off” but it works out at about 20 hours credit per leave block, which is on Shorthaul about 25-30 days of actual work at min credit. In practice it means in a month with leave you work dog hard outside of the 10 day off block.
As for days off average credit:day is roughly 5 hours on shorthaul and you need to hit on 86 or 88 hours a month on average (30 or 31 day month) so you should average 13 days off a month in a month with no leave. 17-18 days off in a month with leave.
