Department for International Development: Working Hours
(asked on 17th July 2019) - View Source
Question to the Department for International Development:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, how much time off in lieu has been taken by staff in his Department in each of the last five years.
DFID works on a flexible working hours scheme, which allows staff to build up a credit of time which can be used to take time off (flexi-leave). To compensate for working extra hours, staff may be paid overtime or take time off in lieu.
The below table shows all flexi leave recorded for each of the last 5 years, from July 2014 to June 2019. This data includes only full days or half days and not shorter timespans (e.g. a couple of hours), and it cannot be determined that all flexi leave taken has been recorded.
Time frame | No. of flexi days recorded |
Jul 14 to Jun 15 | 3,272.5 |
Jul 15 to Jun 16 | 3,235.5 |
Jul 16 to Jun 17 | 3,674.5 |
Jul 17 to Jun 18 | 4,949.0 |
Jul 18 to Jun 19 | 5,076.0 |
Total | 20,207.5 |
