We all did that scoping exercise ages ago. Not heard a peep. When I'm on holiday or rwo I only get 30 hours! It's crap. When at work we do 37

We had 5 made up to 37hrs a few months back, I believe the maximum you can go to now is 35hrs but someone else may prove me wrong.

RM will only increase your hours if your office requires it but if you feel you a being fobbed off keep hassling your DOM and your rrep

There loads in our office that are looking to decrease their hours to a 3 day week, to be honest if I could afford it I would do the same

Is that quite a common thing in your place? how many 3 day week workers do you have working there?

About a dozen temporary 37 hour full-time contracts were made up in our office. Some of them have been with the business since last Xmas.
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.

For a good few offices (including locally here) 37hrs is considered to be full time with anything less being considered to be part time.

Of course that is the case :crazy:

Fulltime hours have been 37hrs for years now but you can only be uplifted to 35hrs now
