11 Hours (Eleven Book 1)

Product Information

Each area of NHS Fife is required to implement their own recording procedure under the guidance given. Provision was made by c ircular PCS(AFC)2019/6 that regularly paid non-contractual overtime and ex cess hours should also be included in these calculations and it was agreed that “regular” is defined as “4 or more separate occasions in the 12 month period which precedes the first day of annual leave”.

Normal hours” are those which are regularly worked and / or fixed by a contract of employment. The calculation is not affected by absence from work, as a worker’s normal hours of work would remain the same, regardless of the “actual” hours worked.

The statutory entitlement to paid Annual Leave for a full-time employee is 28 days This is calculated on a pro-rata basis for those who do not work full-time. Employees with substantive full time contracts, who work additionally for the bank, will be entitled to further allocation of leave for any bank hours worked. There is no statutory entitlement to bank or public holidays for bank staff. It is recommended that where an employee who is on stand-by is called on to work after midnight, they should not return to work until 11 hours after the end of their last call-out. A worker has a standard working week of 37.5 hours and does overtime of 20 hours a week for the first 10 weeks of the 17 week reference period. No leave is taken during the reference period. Working time for the purposes of the Regulations, and the provision of the relevant rest periods and breaks is defined as “Any period during which the worker is: (i) working; (ii) carrying out his duties; and (iii) at the employer’s disposal.” Employers must meet all three criteria. Sleep quality can be measured in terms of the degree of difficulty a person has to fall asleep and to stay asleep, as well as the number of times a person typically wakes up in a single night. It can also be measured more subjectively in terms of how rested a person feels upon waking.

Hours are to be provided on a 17 week basis, which should coincide with the 17 week reference period, the dates of which will be provided by the Line Manager. There is a free guidance produced by the DTI (Department of Trade and Industry), which can provide more information.

Daily rest

There are some exceptions, for example for people who work in hospitals, agriculture, retail work, hotels, catering, bakeries, post/newspaper deliveries or people who work in connection with cultural, artistic, sporting or advertising activities. If your employer won't let you take a rest break Very generally, researchers have found that achieving 6-7 hours of sleep per night correlates with a number of positive health outcomes, but there are also many other factors that may affect these outcomes. For the purposes of this agreement, the leave year runs from 1 April until 31 March in each year, unless otherwise agreed within an employee’s contract of employment or as specified for bank workers. It is also important that employees suffer no detriment as a result of exercising their entitlements under the Working Time Regulations. The Working Time Regulations indicate minimum requirements and it is recognised that more favourable conditions are currently in place within areas of NHS Fife.

The Working Time Regulations provide rights for employees ensuring that they do not have to work excessive hours. However, compensatory rest does not necessarily mean providing an employee with time off in lieu. NHS Fife has agreed that employees can currently be afforded opportunities for compensatory rest throughout the course of their working week. An employee cannot, unless by individual agreement, work more than an average of 48 hours per week. They are entitled under the Working Time Regulations to 90 hours rest per week (6 x 11 hours of daily rest plus 1-x 24 hours of weekly rest). There are 168 hours available per week, so therefore: If a young worker is required to work more than four and a half-hours at a time, then they are entitled to a break of 30 minutes. A young worker is also entitled to twelve uninterrupted hours in each 24-hour period in which they work. Both these entitlements can only be altered or excluded in exceptional circumstances. Young workers are also entitled to 2 days off each week and this cannot be averaged over 2 weeks.

Rest between working days

Arrangements for employees to take their breaks will be agreed at local level. Existing local arrangements, which already provide for breaks of more than 20 minutes will meet the requirements of this provision and no further action is necessary. By law (The Working Time Regulations 1998), employees and workers have the right to the following rest:

rest day in each working week - this could be averaged out over 2 weeks, so you'd be entitled to 2 days off in a fortnight
