Anecdotal evidence regarding the current rostering practices within the DF are varied and seem to be based on personality/efficiency of those making out the roster. Notice periods of between 24hrs and 1week are common.
While Section 17 of the organisation of working time act only requires the employer to give 24hrs notice of work rostering, it does not make it a "good practice".
Routine duties should be rostered with at least one calendar months notice which is something ICTU are pushing for by way of a change in the OoWT Act.
It causes severe stress placing employees under this uncertainty and inability to plan their lives more than a week in advance.
