Facilities Time Reporting

Facility time is the provision of paid or unpaid time off from an employee's normal role to undertake trade union duties and activities as a trade union representative. Under the Trade Union (Facility Time Publication Requirements) Regulations 2017, the Trust as a relevant public sector employer is now required to collect and publish, on an annual basis, a range of data in relation to their employees who are trade union representatives.                                                                                                                              

In 2024-25 the Trust had 12 employees who were trade union representatives who spent less than 50% of their time on trade union activities. The total cost of facility time was £8,951 (0.033% of the Trust's total pay bill).                                                                                                                                                                                                                Therefore, the total cost of facility time was £8,951 (0.033% of the Trust's total pay bill).
