I'm a Project Engineer in construction. I rarely "work" weekends am on call every 5 weeks (we rotate) and I'm expected have some availability or let them know otherwise. For example if I go on a an overnight camping trip, I let the VP (my supervisor) know I won't have service sat-sun.
Currently I work every Saturday and get Sundays off. But I have worked weekends, overnights, holidays, Christmas, Thanksgiving, you name it. I am a broadcast technician and TV is a 24/7/365 operation.
