The USO currently under trial, did have about an 18 month backstop for implementation. Because of the "dire" needs of IDS, this has now been brought forward to September this year.
Regarding restructuring of duties, this is not going to happen at the moment. If you have 50 duties, you will still have 50 duties post implementation of the USO reform. Should it go ahead.
As i have posted before, it is apparently 3 staff into 4 duties. The excess staff will assist in making sure that there is clear office policy. Within the last 2 weeks we have taken on 4 new starters in my office, which negates any vacancies. So, in theory, we should have 25% extra staff on our staff in post list. Which would equate to 33% of needed staff for the reduction in duties. It's not an exact science, because of reserves etc, but you get my thought process, hopefully.
Revisions will take place next year, IMO. Although this is not a given, if you knew RM like i do, then it's going to happen. Loss of duties will be covered by VR and natural wasteage.
As things stand, i understand that only one office is trialling this. I also understand that there are 7 new duty patterns, which have to voted on. As the current 1 day off per week, rolling, will not fit the new duty structures.
I think that's it. Let's see if any of it comes to fruition.
