Note 2 When evaluating a part-time job, which is not normally done on a 37 hours per week basis, for example, most school based roles, the period of time should also be assessed as though it were a full-time job, for example, although normally working for periods of less than an hour at a time, a School Crossing Patroller or Midday Supervisor, should be assessed as though they were carrying out their duties for a full working day, so the concentrated sensory attention for traffic and pupils would normally be treated as ‘prolonged’. Breaks required by health and safety regulations (for example, for VDU work or driving), or other recognised breaks, should not be treated as breaks in the period of attention. Demands over particular periods relate to the nature of the work, and not to the contractual hours of the jobholder.
