answer text <p>The MOD measures and describes the working patterns of personnel through the annual UK Armed Forces Continuous Working Patterns Survey (CWPS). The CWPS is a sample exercise in the form of a seven-day diary completed by trained UK Regular personnel to record the number of hours spent at work, on call, on breaks, and off duty to calculate averages for the Armed Forces. The 2021/22 CWPS can be found at the following link: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/armed-forces-continuous-working-patterns-survey-202122" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/armed-forces-continuous-working-patterns-survey-202122</a></p><p> </p><p>The MOD does not set Service personnel specific targets to work a certain number of hours. Routinely, where possible, the Armed Forces’ intent is for all personnel to work a normal working day (e.g. 08:30 to 17:00) five days a week, or equivalent for shift workers, although this is subject to change depending upon operational tempo and other commitments.</p><p> </p><p>The Working Time Regulations (WTR) do not apply to the Armed Forces, however Commanding Officers must nevertheless ensure that where any official orders set out timings and tasks, the orders should comply with the WTR unless an exception applies. The Chain of Command informally monitors hours worked at a local and unit level to ensure that personnel do not under or over work. Annual leave is subject to formal recording and is actively managed by the Chain of Command to ensure personnel take adequate leave; any accrued leave can be carried over in line with departmental policy.</p><p> </p>
