This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff
This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours
However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37 hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period, for which you would be paid, until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week
