If you have a contract for your hours they can't force you to change your hours, if they decided to spread it over 5 days, now thats a different story.

We have a lot of three day weeks in our office and it seems to be increasing, but not one of them has a contract that says they only work three days it’s all based on hours .
What makes it really interesting is they are all on legacy contracts and think they are untouchable
