<p>Time Off in Lieu (TOIL) is agreed locally, subject to business needs and line manager
approval. The Department does not hold centrally managed records of TOIL for the period
in question. TOIL forms just one of the options where conditioned hours are exceeded;
those who use the flexi system can choose to credit hours under this policy, and overtime
may be paid where agreed in advance with line management.</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 Senior Civil
Service cadre to the wellbeing of their staff is demonstrated by the fact that 85
per cent have completed the Wellbeing Confident Leadership Training.</p>
