DM26 Part Time Start Times

Post by ChrisMH »

In typical RM and CWU fashion we are being asked to pick between different work patterns with just a smidge of information. The only info we have in our DO relates to full timers start times all being set at 0710. Does anyone know what the start for 35, 32 and 30 hours might be? So far the only advice I've had is work it based on what you do now.

There won't be a blanket time across RM, it will be down to individual offices

I would say you would work backwards. So base it on the end time of the FT staff. Eg 4pm finish, 30 hour contract would start at 10am.

Yep, the only difference between FT and PT is indoor workload. Outdoor is aligned so they must sign out at the same time at the end of the day (and it will be the end of the f***ing day this December).
The machine stops.
