Members have raised questions with the Branch on specific points. We have raised these with PCS DWP Group and have received answers, the details are published below:

Question 1:

New contracts:

If people do not sign up to the employee deal could their contracts be changed any way with 3 months’ notice?

Answer 1:

Theoretically yes, if they applied for an increase or decrease to their working hours. But DWP have said they will constrain the powers of local managers to do this.
