Common use of Annual Allocations Clause in Contracts

Annual Allocations. The allocated time off for Local Officers and Representatives will be determined on an annual basis through consultation with all recognised Trade Unions. Allocations will be agreed for an academic year at least one term in advance of the next academic year. At the start of the summer term, the LA will confirm the amount of facilities time afforded to each Trade Union in writing. Trade Unions will then notify the LA of how the facilities time is being allocated to each elected representative within their overall allocation. The LA will notify the Headteacher of school of employees who are allocated as trade union representatives covered by this Agreement. Any remaining facilities time that remains unallocated, can be claimed during the year by arrangement with the Headteacher of the relevant school, subject to minimum disruption. The Trade Union will inform the LA of each occurrence in writing in advance.
