Contract Amendments - Is this right

Hi.
I work for same co. for few years. I have contract said work 40 hrs a week (excl lunch). which I did.
New contract was issued said 35 hours a week. So I worked 35 hours.

Now employer said made a mistake and want me to work 40 hours.
Can they do that?

    You may find there's a clause in your contract citing "as required" or "as operational needs require" - most do.

    Is there any reason you'd not want to do the extra 5hrs?

    Because he will get the same salary for the 35 hours, as he would the 40 hours i assume?
