As with the first hour of SWW which took us from 40 to 39 hours the majority of DOs will add another 12 minutes to the start time each day. So once, or if, we get the full five hours of SWW implemented offices will be starting an hour later than they originally did.

There was an LTB out sometime in the last week or so.
If you're on longs and shorts the rough idea is 15 minutes off Mondays and Saturdays and 30 minutes off Tuesdays.

There were a couple of other options for offices that are on different structures, naturally I've only remembered the one most likely to affect my office

The three options are linked above but the second and third options are basically the same. So it's the one you mentioned if your duty times are the same length each day. If you have longs & shorts then you do 12 minutes later start time each day.

For some it makes no odds they have a bus they must catch or traffic they need to avoid leaving ten mins later in London can double you journey time. We also have the early starters they will still start early the no breakers will still work their paid breaks, for me i will get five more mins kip on some days and have my morning cuppa and breakfast at work instead of at home on the latest starts as traffic is far to heavy.
