Camp and rotation jobs in the Peace Region

What does a 14/7 rotation tell me?

A 14/7 description normally means fourteen scheduled work days followed by seven days off. It does not establish shift length, paid hours, travel days, overtime, or whether the employer can change the schedule. Treat the notation as a starting point and ask for the actual roster.

• Are shifts days, nights, or a mix? When does the switch happen?
• Are travel and orientation days inside or outside the stated rotation?
• Is the pattern guaranteed in the offer, or does it depend on the project?
• Where do you report for the first shift, and who confirms mobilization?

Does camp mean flights are included?

No. Accommodation, transport and pay are separate offer terms. A posting may provide lodging while requiring you to reach a pickup point at your own expense. A city shown on the board may be the employer’s base rather than the camp or worksite.

• Confirm the camp location, room arrangement, meals and any deductions.
• Ask who books and pays for each travel segment, including missed connections.
• Clarify baggage, tools, PPE, parking and transport between camp and site.
• Ask what happens if mobilization is delayed or the assignment ends early.

How is a living-out allowance different?

A posting that mentions a living-out allowance or per diem needs its own questions: what amount is payable, which days qualify, whether receipts are required, and who arranges lodging. Do not assume an allowance covers every expense or that its tax treatment is identical across offers. Get the terms in writing.

What should I ask about fatigue and time off?

CCOHS explains that long shifts and commuting can add to fatigue, and that shift patterns affect recovery time. Ask about rest between shifts, transportation after nights and the employer’s fatigue-reporting process. Include the full trip between home and the worksite when considering whether a roster is practical for you.

Compare two offers on the same basis

Write down the actual worksite, hours, rotation, travel responsibility, accommodation, allowance, equipment costs and application source for each offer. Leave undisclosed values marked “ask employer.” A higher advertised hourly rate alone does not resolve the difference in travel or lodging terms.
