Product Information

This policy details NHS Fife’s commitment to the Working Time Regulations 1998 (as amended) and sets out the obligations of managers, staff and staff side representatives. Working time is any time during which a worker is working, at the employer’s disposal and carrying out the employer’s activity or duties and any period during which the worker is receiving relevant training and any additional period which is to be treated as working time under a relevant agreement. The determination for Regulation 22 Police Regulations 2003 now provides that time spent in travel, outside of rostered duty hours and not already covered by the travelling time treated as duty provisions, to and from duty at a place other than the normal place of duty; and time spent in travel to and from training courses other than at the usual lace of duty are to be treated as working time.

However, there are a number of special circumstances in which the entitlement to rest periods does not apply, for example, where the activities involve a need for continuity of service or production or where there is a foreseeable surge of activity.

In such a case the entitlement to daily and weekly rest does not apply.

Where it is not possible to provide this rest, employees should receive equivalent rest over a 14 day period, either as one 70 hour period, or two 35 hour periods. This is in accordance with the Agenda for Change Terms and Conditions of Service and the Medical & Dental Staff Conditions of Service. Line Managers need to ensure that all entitlements to rest are provided. Although bank workers conduct their work in unique circumstances, it is imperative that the same record keeping practices are followed as those for permanent employees. In determining local arrangements to implement this agreement, employers and employees are expected to ensure that no action is taken which discriminates against any members of staff with family or carer responsibilities.
