In summary, the conversation revolves around calculating the potential earnings for the person and their brother based on a 4-week on and 4-week off work schedule. The person's brother is expected to earn \$1,400 per shift, which would amount to \$182,000 per year. However, it is unclear if the person will also receive the same salary and if their brother follows the same work schedule. There is also confusion about the definition of a "shift" and the potential hourly rate, with calculations showing it to be around \$6.25 per hour.

If I work 4 weeks on and 4 weeks off, how much will I earn? My brother will be earning 1400 every shift, so would my brother earn $1,400 per shift x 5 days per week x 26 weeks per year = $182,000?

Will you be paid the same shift salary as your brother? Does your brother follow the 4 week on/off schedule, also?

\$1400 per shift? Really?

What do you mean by a "shift"? I would normally interpret a "shift" to be a standard 8 hour day but \$1400 seems a bit much for 8 hours! (\$175 an hour!)

If a "shift" is the "four weeks on" then that would be 4(7)(8)= 224 hours. \$1400/224= \$6.25 per hour, a bit more reasonable.

But it is very confusing for you to ask about your earnings but only tell us about your brother's salary!
