From October 2018, a one-hour reduction to
the working week (currently 39 hours). This is
subject to: the deployment of the new last
letter delivery time; and the completion of
specific trials in the operation to help improve
customer service and productivity. These
include delivery methods and automated
hours data capture.
From October 2019, a further one-hour
reduction to the working week, subject to a
joint evaluation of factors including ongoing
efficiency, implementation of changes from
trials in the operation and technological
changes.
A commitment to move towards a 35-hour
week by 2022. "

38 hours per week(from October) divided by 4 = 9.5 hours per day assuming each day is equal. Not exactly rocket science is it. :cuppa
