SECTION 2.8
Hours of work & flexitime continued...
TERMS & CONDITIONS
The College believes that your hours of work will comply with these
provisions, but if at any time you think that this may not be the case, you
should immediately advise your Head of Department or Supervising
College Officer. Though in most cases your terms of employment prohibit
other employment and require commitment to the College, if you have any
other employment or are considering any additional employment, you
should notify the College so that any implications arising from the working
time legislation can be discussed with you.
Every member of staff (unless informed that he or she is exempt) is
required to record the hours worked and absences in the manner required
by his or her Head of Department or Supervising College Officer who will
check and approve the record before submission to the Human Resources
Office.

Regulations on hours

Flexitime
Those staff covered by the scheme have the option of varying their working
hours to suit their personal and work circumstances; however when
agreeing which hours can be varied, employees must bear in mind that the
needs of the College come first.
The working day is split into periods of flexitime and coretime. During the
flexitime periods, you may vary your start and finish times, as long as the
needs of the College and your Department are met. During coretime, you
must be at work. Flexi start time is between 8am and 10am and flexi
finish time is between 4pm and 6.30pm. Coretime when everyone should
be at work is between 10am and noon and 2pm and 4pm unless otherwise
agreed or where shifts are worked.

TAFF HANDBOOK
You can also vary the length of your lunchtime. Lunch is a minimum of 30
minutes and a maximum of two hours. If you work through lunch, you still
have to record a lunch break of the minimum 30 minutes (this is to
encourage you to stop and take a break).
