Contract hours
If my contract says 30 hours over 6 days with one day off each week. That works out 6 hours per day for 5 days. Can I be made work 3 hours per day for 3 days then work 2 long days ie Friday & Saturday with a 6.30pm finish on Saturday to make up the hours? Also I've lost the print copy of my employment contract, where can I get a copy? HR services?

Contract hours
In law and with appropriate notice - yes they can as our contracts states hours per week, not actual timings.
Though I would try and fight it anyway, get the Union on side, call Union Line for advice (if you are a CWU member)
------------------------------------------- Slightly off topic.
Royal Mail and any employer can try to change an employment contract (with agreement) as long as they follow the rules.
They can reduce your hours, or increase them, they can change the times of attendance etc, as long as the changes are lawful. It all depends whether you think the changes are acceptable or not and what actions you are willing to take, thats what matters.
If you are unhappy then read through this guide, it might help https://worksmart.org.uk/work-rights/pa ... employment" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

seems like a useful snippet.A change to the contract must not leave an employee unable to perform the contract
