Trade Union Training. 10.1 A trade union official will be allowed reasonable time off with pay to undergo training in aspects of industrial relations which are relevant to the carrying out of their duties, and approved by the Trade Union Congress or by the independent trade union of which they are an official.
10.2 The County Council recognises that accredited representatives are more likely to carry out their duties effectively if they posses skills and knowledge relevant to their duties. The County Council therefore allows accredited representatives reasonable time off during working hours to undergo training relevant to the carrying out of their trade union duties. Training should be in aspects of employment relations relevant to the duties of the representative. There is no recommended syllabus since representatives' duties will vary according to the collective bargaining arrangements, the structure of the union and the role of the official. The training must also be approved by the TUC or by the trade union of which the employee is a representative.
10.3 Representatives attending training, relevant to their duties at the workplace, must be paid for the time off taken. Where part-time employees, who are accredited trade union representatives, attend a course of training and the time spent exceeds the normal working hours, the employees will receive payment for the entirety of the course.
