39 hour week
We are about to institute a 39 hour week on the revision and I was wondering how it has been implemented in those areas who already have it. I would like to know also how MCs have managed the shorter week. For example has the week been shortened by a full hour or is it piecemeal across the week. Nothing has been decided yet so a good cross section would be most helpful.

Re: 39 hour week
We work the same hours we did on the 40 hour week, then get one in every six saturdays off to compensate for that extra hour week! 
Union what Union? Do we have a union?

Re: 39 hour week
I like to think of as much time as possible at one time, probably 20 minutes over 3 days. The next question is what part of the day would be best?

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Re: 39 hour week
Oh I don't know ccr, who dares etc. The deal has to be voted in and there must be scope for negotiation purely on that basis alone.clashcityrocker wrote:http://www.wat.tv/video/supertramp-drea ... wg0h_.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;dvbuk55 wrote:I like to think of as much time as possible at one time, probably 20 minutes over 3 days.

Yes that would be ideal but I'm told that is a non-starter.k979aaa wrote:Well David Beckham has to be right "At the end of the day".dvbuk55 wrote:I like to think of as much time as possible at one time, probably 20 minutes over 3 days. The next question is what part of the day would be best?

Re: 39 hour week
re 39 hr week.
in our office all they have done is made the quieter days Mon/tuesday shorter by half an hr each day.
but if you go over your time say on monday the DOM wants you start later the next few mornings to save paying you the overtime.

[Normal week in our office is late starts mon,tue and sat....06:30,06:45,06:15,06:15,06:15,06:30 I wish i had your late starts , they're early compared to our office. We now start at 7.30 everyday, it's certainly a lot later than when i used to start at 3.45 am 26 yrs ago
