Part time working under the new agreement

[Standardblue]

Good Evening!

Please can someone, possibly who works in the trial offices, help me understand the working hours for part timers (30 Hours) under the new pattern.
Myself and another staff member currently do 4 days a week, full time days. In the published Q&A the union say that we are able to continue to do a 4 day week? Our office seems likely to choose a two Saturdays off in 5 weeks rota where the rounds look like they will be in groups of 4. Even the rurals also, so will it be like a day off cover for this?

Many thanks in advance for any help here

I've also no idea but this is the attendance pattern for the 2 in 5 I've screenshotted from one of the ltb's and all the attendances are full time and 5 days per week for 3 weeks out of the 5 and 4 days the other 2.

Hopefully someone else will know a better answer

One solution is that a reserve would cover your 'missing day', which would rotate. So you might have:

Week one: Tues, Wed, Sat days off
Week two: Mon, Tue days off
Week three: Wed, Thu days off
Week four: Thu, Fri days off
Week five: Mon, Fri, Sat days off

But it looks like it'll be left up to you office to sort out.

Or alternatively as being on 4 days doesn't "fit" they might decide to be a twat and say they can only accommodate it if you're a reserve, that's what they said to folk at our place who requested a fixed day off due to family friendly child care etc.
