<p>Staff at DCMS work a standard 36 or 37 hour week and paid overtime is allowed on
an exceptional basis in priority areas. Staff are encouraged to discuss their working
hours with their Line Manager and, where they may be working beyond their standard
hours, to record their hours of work with managers keeping oversight. A flexi time
sheet template is made available for individuals to use to record their hours; records
are not held centrally. Managers are responsible for ensuring employees are working
their hours and not working excessive hours in line with Regulation 9 of the Working
Time Regulations 1998 and this requirement has not been different where staff have
been working from home. There are currently no staff at DCMS who have chosen to opt
out of the Working Time Directive.</p>
