answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/01/2022 answer text <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> answering member constituency Hornchurch and Upminster answering member printed Julia Lopez question first answered 17/01/2022 16:25:08 answering member 4647 label Biography information for Julia Lopez

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/09/2019 answer text <p>The department has made no assessment of the amount of time off in lieu taken by staff in the last 5 years, and to do so would incur disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p><p>DCMS has a commitment to ensure that employees maintain a healthy work-life balance, and that the working hours of our staff are compliant with the requirements of the Working Time Regulations 1998. All employees have the opportunity to request to work ‘flexi hours’, meaning that (with line manager agreement) they can build up a certain amount of working hours as credit which can then be taken as time off. This is something that is arranged locally with an individual’s line manager, meaning that we do not hold a central record of the total amount of time off in lieu taken by the department’s employees.</p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 02/09/2019 09:30:40 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams
