The Department has a number of policies in place to recognise the occasional circumstances in which staff might work more than their conditioned hours. These include the flexi-credit system in which staff can accrue flexi hours to allow time off at a later point should they choose to enrol in the flexi policy. They also have the chance to take TOIL (time off in lieu) for any additional time worked. Approved overtime is agreed with managers in advance and remunerated in line with our overtime policy.</p><p>The Department ensures that the requirements of the Working Time Regulations of 1998 as regards civil service working hours are adhered to and has a commitment to the well-being of our staff which aims to ensure that everyone has a good work/life balance. We want to create a working environment that allows people to flourish and thrive through positive, supportive relationships which recognise the importance of individual wellbeing, and how this may be affected by working patterns and practices. The commitment of our SCS cadre to the wellbeing of their staff is demonstrated by the fact that 85 per cent have completed the Wellbeing Confident Leadership Training.</p> answering member constituency Rossendale and Darwen answering member printed Jake Berry question first answered 12/07/2019 12:20:28 answering member 4060 label Biography information for Sir Jake Berry
