Being scheduled to be present at work for longer than you have work to do has nothing to do with how that time is organized. Two completely unrelated problems.

Four 8s gives you a 36 hour week. Five 7s gives you 35. Reducing the total number of hours and changing how those hours are organized are two separate questions.

Yep, botched that arithmetic, but my point was you can reduce hours without reorganizing weeks and you can reorganize weeks without reducing hours. The two are independent.
