in nz?Council workers work the hours they're told if their hours are cut down to 3pm finishes that's what they do.
My dad worked for the council for years (and later the company that took over the council houses) they were always messing around with the hours.
In the end I think he was working 8-4.30 Mon-Thurs early finish Friday to get to 37.5 per week. At one stage he could work until 4.30 Fri, unpaid but count the hours towards more annual leave but they stopped that.
He got to bring the van home every day but that was a money saver for everyone as it meant the company didn't need a depot or yard.
