88 days 7 days sign off

[Jon]

Hi my employer has said he signs me off for 7 days for my farm work. That means my 88 days will come quicker than working the three Calender months is that correct? 

 

Also if I for any reason I left or the work stopped my work would still be signed off for 7 days ? As far as I am aware it is more to the discretion of the employer if they sign you for 7 days or 5 than the visa bureau ?

You're best to clear this up with your employer.

I worked on one farm that would only sign me off for days worked, so if I didn't work a Sunday in that week I'd get 6 days only. I was classed as a casual worker.

I also worked for another farm that would sign me off for 7 days a week, regardless of whether I worked them or not. This included rainy days, Sundays, public holidays etc. I was classed as a part-time worker.

So it all depends on your employer and what your employment is.
