    Trade Union Facility Time – 2020/2021 The Trade Union (Facility Time Publication Requirements) Regulations 2017 came into force on the 1st April 2017. These regulations place a legislative requirement on relevant public sector employers, including local authorities, to collate and publish, on an annual basis, a range of data on the amount and cost of facility time within their organisation. This note includes data required under these Regulations and data required under the Department for Communities and Local Government Transparency Code which took effect on 2nd February 2015. The Regulations require data to be published by function. This detail is set out below. Central Function employees are defined as employees other than those employed in the Education Function of the Council. Education Function employees are defined as persons employed by virtue of section 35(2) of the Education Act 2002 (staffing of community, voluntary controlled, community special and maintained nursery schools). The total cost of trade union facility time across both Central and Education functions for 2020/2021 was £64,903 which represents 0.04% of the authority’s total pay bill. Costs can vary on an annual basis as they are based on the actual salary of the individual representatives. Relevant union officials spent no paid time on trade union activities. 1.
