Duty options and Part Timers?

[Hitcher]

We just been given the choice of 3 options (see below) but I'm unsure how they will work for part timers (30 hours) like myself.

Does anyone have either of these in place, if so how do the PTs work?

1. 2 in 6 Saturdays off in a 5 day rotating day off system

2. 1 in 4 Saturdays off in a rotating 5 days - FT work every Thurs & Fri

3. 1 in 6 rotating day off (which we currently us)

Thanks.

I think what i'd be concerned about being PT is, will there be PT jobs?
I mean RM want cheaper labour through PT workers yet i see them come into work with nothing thrown into their round and 6hrs to complete. Now with most rounds under the changes being 5hrs ++ it then becomes a turn up and go out with your cdv partner. No sorting. So how's this gonna happen?
Are RM breaking employemnt laws here?

There should be PT duties in my DO. We're proposing to work on the basis of a PTer working 8 hrs (i.e FT on Thu, Fri, Sat = 24hr contact) and acting as a Reserve on the duties who are having them as their days off.
This should allow the FTers to have the 1 in 4 Sats off that they were after. There are some Pters interested in working this although I wouldn't be chuffed with it. Their thinking is a least you can do something with the rest of the week, unlike getting messed about for 5 hrs a day!
However at present it's all pie in the sky because because our Revision has been postponed until sometime in January.
