Reduced Working Week* From 1 April 2026, the working week for NHS Agenda for Change staff in Scotland will reduce from 37 to 36 hours for full-time employees. Part-time staff will receive a pro-rata reduction in hours, with no loss of earnings. The State Hospital is committed to implementing this change; however, it may not be possible to fully transition on 1 April in all areas. In some departments, implementation may take longer to ensure patient safety and service continuity. If your department cannot safely accommodate the reduced hours from 1 April, you may be required to continue working 37.5 hours per week (pro-rata for part-time staff) until adjustments can be made. You will, of course, be remunerated accordingly. Our priority is to implement the 36-hour working week across all areas as soon as it is safe and practical to do so.
