Facility time 


The Cabinet Office and Civil Service have produced joint guidance on the new public sector employers’ duty to publish information on paid trade union facility time which came into force in spring.


Relevant employers are now required to publish information such as the number of union reps in their organisation and the amount spent on facility time.


Supporting guidance for the Trade Union (Facility Time Publication Requirements) Regulations 2017 sets out information on the publishing requirements, the process for reporting data, data collection requirements, tables to illustrate the facility time data that organisations are required to collate and publish under the Regulations, some working examples, frequently asked questions and additional resources.
