Part timers will stay on the same hours but will get a pay increase because the hourly rate will go up.
Example; if you are paid £390 for a 39 hr week this is £10 per HR.
You drop to a 38 hr week on the same pay then this is £10.26 per HR.
So part timers get a 26 pence per hr raise. (2.6%)
* Not actual pay rates

What will happen is you come in on time, work as instructed, and finish on time. Same as now.

Mgmt cannot lower or increase your contract hours unless you agree. Can't think what agreement it states it in. Hence why P/T staff get an additional 2.6% pay rise in hourly pay when the SWW kicks in.

You will work the same hours per week. How many you work each day will possibly change. What contract do you have (23hrs 24 mins)?

If you want to keep to your 3 days a week, the simple thing would be to reduce your hours accordingly. You would be no worse off financially with the pay rise. Surely that would suit everyone.

You don’t have to reduce your hours. Just keep working the same days you currently do if that’s what suits. You will probably keep same start and finish times but speak to your rep even manager about it at the time. SWW is not definite yet anyway.
