<table><tbody><tr><td><p>The Attorney General’s Office has a shared HR service with
the Government Legal Department (GLD). The GLD have a joint agreement with the PCS
and FDA unions. The GLD enjoys a productive and open relationship with the unions,
and fully accepts that the law places a duty on an employer to disclose information
for collective bargaining purposes. This may include information without which the
Trade Union representative would be materially impeded from carrying out collective
bargaining and information which it would be in accordance with good employment relations
practice to disclose for the purpose of collective bargaining. The information appropriate
for disclosure will vary according to the request but is likely to include some of
the following: principles and structures of pay and reward systems; analysis of earnings
and hours of work; total pay bill and benefits; terms and conditions of employment;
workforce planning statistics; and business outlook. In addition, routine human resources
information is shared with recognised trade unions as part of our normal engagement,
for example TUs are provided with anonymised workforce data which includes staffing
numbers, turnover and activity levels on a monthly basis. There is a range of HR information
published on the GOV.UK which is therefore publicly available.</p></td></tr></tbody></table>
