Consultation on time off for trade union duties and activities

At the request of the Minister of State for Employment Relations and Postal Affairs, Pat McFadden MP, Acas has revised the Code of Practice on Time Off for Trade Union Duties and Activities and produced an accompanying Guide entitled Developing Effective Employee Representation: A guide to managing provisions for time off, training and facilities.

This PDF combines three documents: an introductory note on the need to revise the Code and issue a Guide, the revised Code of Practice and the draft Guide. Further information: The deadline for comment on the revised draft code and draft guidance is 16 March 2009 and has now closed.

Comments on the content and structure of the revised code should be sent by post, e-mail or fax to:
