hello all,
Penalties, are extras, like if you do the afternoon shift you get an enhanced rate, also for travel, overtime, callout and other stuff, so it's all more money the more penalties you have.

hello all,
no, the standard week is 38 hours and 2 hours at time and half, making up the 40 hour week.
