Acre Rigg Academy is obligated to report certain information about Trade Union Representatives and their activity within the Trade Union (Facility Time Publication Requirements) Regulations 2017, which took effect from 1 April 2017. These regulations were laid following the enactment of the Trade Union Act 2016.
We are required to report and publish information about:
• the number of trade union representatives in our organisation
• the time and percentage of hours spent on paid TU activity
• the amount spent on TU activity
• the percentage of paid time spent on TU activities
Acre Rigg Academy works hard to maintain supportive and inclusive working environment within which employees are able to be part of a Trade Union and to take part in its activities if they wish.
School currently employs no trade union representatives. Therefore, the percentage of time spent on trade union activity equates to 0.00% in terms of the total pay bill cost.
