Typical working hours is about 40 hours, but sometime you will be asked to come back on your off days due to lack of manpower, you will be compensated with off days. Usually don't need to OT much, but sometime got to stay back to finish some extra admin work.
Oncall meaning on standby? Yea if someone call in sick, then you will be asked to come down to work, but you will know by a given timing.
Morning shift is around 8 to 5, afternoon shift is around 12 to 9 and night shift is around 8 to 8 thereabouts.
Off days mean your AL? typically all newcomer start with 21 AL, the highest you can go is 28 days, depending on your length of service and job grade.
How big is the department will depend on the size of the hospital. General hospital like
NUH and
SGH definitely have more staff. for the hospital im working, its about 150 to 200 ppl, including med tech, med scientists, pathologists, admin staff etc. clinical chem section itself about 50 odd people?
