Description |
The purpose of this guidance is to ensure that staff on Agenda for Change Band 8 and above are aware of the arrangements in place with regard to TOIL. |
INTRODUCTION
The Agenda for Change Handbook is clear that staff in Band 8 and above are not eligible for overtime. However, it does not specifically address time of in lieu (TOIL).
BACKGROUND
In response to questions being raised on this point, STAC would offer the following clarification. Where staff have been asked by their line manager to work beyond their contracted hours to assist with service delivery, staff are entitled to take time off in lieu for this additional agreed contribution.
The above does not prevent local agreements being made for flexible working arrangements, in line with departmental requirements.
