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:

Please see the details below, from OED:

“Operating hours 

Our  business operating hours from October 2016 are 7.45am to 6.30 pm, Monday to Friday.

Following queries and feedback from across the team, I can confirm that where there is a clear need, with appropriate work, you will be able to agree with line managers to flex on from 7.30am. This can take place from 1st November.”

 Do you agree wrong in terms of :

1. The operating hours start date (I believe that these have moved back to February 2017)
2. The date of change in terms of the start times for FWH (I believe that existing arrangements remain in place until February 2017)

Answer

Yes I agree this is inaccurate
